Abstract: TheNilayers with good soft magnetic properties have been successfully electroless deposited on PZT layers. To study the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrolessNi-deposition, the effect of bath parameters such as pH and temperature has been discussed. The structural, magnetic and magnetostrictive properties ofNilayers deposited at various pH and temperature are characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer and standard strain-gauge technique. The grain size, deposition rate, magnetic properties and magnetostrictive properties ofNilayers and magnetoelectric effect ofNi/PZT/Nitrilayers depend strongly on the thermodynamics and kinetics of electroless deposition processes. A maximum ME voltage coefficient ofαE,31= 5.8V cm-1Oe-1is obtained at a frequency of about 101 kHz. These trilayers exhibit a promising potential in actuators, transducers and sensors.
