To optimize magnetoelectric composites for magnetic sensor applications it is necessary to understand the coupling at the interface between a piezoelectric and a magnetostrictive material. To study the coupling at the interface, we measure the lattice deformation of the piezoelectric substrate insitu by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction in an external magnetic field and for different thicknesses of the magnetostrictive layer grown by magnetron sputtering, using the high resolution and high intensity X-ray beam provided by Petra III (P08). We investigate the magnetic field induced strain of (Fe₉₀Co₁₀)₇₈Si₁₂B₁₀ on ZnO and InP substrates. From the Bragg peak positions we determined the interplanar spacings in the substrates and the corresponding strain as a function of the applied magnetic field. We measure the strain for different thicknesses and get a critical thickness for the magnetostrictive layer. We thanks the DPG for funding through PAK 902.
