- Abstract
The complex behavior of horizontally polarized surface shear waves in magnetoelectric surface acoustic wave based magnetic field sensor devices is revealed by time‐resolved magnetooptical microscopy with picosecond temporal and submicron spatial resolution. The imaging of the propagating waves in the magnetoelectric composites is realized through the functional soft‐magnetic layer by coupled magnetoelastic interactions. Partial surface wave reflections, wave front dephasing, and secondary wave generation occur, which originate from structures and magnetic domain walls. Closure domain structures bend and reflect the magnetic surface waves. Strain stimulated magnetic domain walls display dynamic periodic expansions, which propagate along the domain walls and change the magnetomechanical response also in the surrounding regions. The revealed spatial and temporally varying nondeterministic response restricts the noise performance of the surface acoustic wave based magnetic field sensors and thus confines the sensor's limit of detection. Magnetic time‐resolved optical imaging is shown to be a powerful method for the operando characterization of magnetoelectric devices and in‐plane displacement surface acoustic wave fields that are not accessible by other methods.
