The observation of strong magnetoelectric effects is reported in layered composites of ferromagnetic lanthanum manganites and piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT). Studies were made on thick-film structures of La 0 . 7 Sr 0 . 3 MnO 3 (LSMO)-PZT and La 0 . 7 Ca 0 . 3 MnO 3 (LCMO)-PZT. The low-frequency magnetoelectric (ME) voltage coefficient α E was measured in bilayers and multilayers synthesized by tape casting. The effect is stronger in LSMO-PZT than in LCMO-PZT, and is weaker in multilayers compared to bilayers. A maximum α E of 60 mV/cm Oe is measured for the transverse ME effect and is a factor of 2 to 3 higher than the longitudinal effect. The bias magnetic-field dependence of α E shows hysteresis and remanence. A general increase in α E is observed with increasing frequency or decreasing temperature. There is good qualitative agreement between theory and data for the magnetic-field dependence of α E .
