Anisotropy of Giant Nonlinear Magnetoelectric Effects in Hexaferrites with the Magnetoplumbite Structure

Аннотация

We report on the results of investigation of anisotropy of the nonlinear magnetoelectric current effect in M-type hexaferrites with a collinear magnetic ordering at room temperature. It is found that as a result of the passage of a direct electric current in a plane perpendicular to the hexagonal axis of the strontium hexaferrite sample, the saturation magnetization and the anisotropy constant of the material decrease. The change in the magnetic parameters measured using radio spectroscopic methods is found to be proportional to the supplied electric power density; the determined proportionality factors turn out to be several times larger than in the case when the current passes along the axis. We propose a phenomenological theory that explains the observed effects qualitatively.
