It is well established that the highest magnetoelectric coupling can be achieved for systems that use a mechanical resonator at or near resonance typically realized as 2-2-layered devices of a magnetostrictive phase and a piezoelectric material. Statically, the coupling must, nevertheless, not be so high, because amplitude enhancement at high mechanical quality factor can be enormous. We show that statically also 0-3 composites show considerable coupling. It is in particular advantageous to seek for a material combination that uses not necessarily large absolute magnetostriction and electrostrictive strain, but rather places the system at external fields, where the largest changes of each arise. A very significant improvement of magnetoelectric coupling was achieved when combining NiFe2O4 with a relaxor ferroelectric system based on (Ba,Ca)(Zr,Ti)O3. [1] M.
