Magneto-Optical Study of the Anisotropic Piezoelectric Effect in a Ferroelectric Crystal
The possibility of using the magneto-optical Kerr effect in thin magnetostrictive films to study the piezoelectric characteristics of ferroelectrics is demonstrated experimentally and theoretically. A 〈011〉 PMN-PT ferroelectric crystal with an N*(TbCo2/FeCo) magnetostrictive nanostructure deposited on its surface is the object of study.
