The comparison reveals that the insertion loss curves predicted by the degraded circuit model are in good agreement with the experiment results and the predicted results of the electromagnetic field simulation, thus the validity of the model is verified. The model is then degraded to the two-stage cascaded magnetoelectric filter with two magnetoelectric laminates. It is revealed that if the applied external bias magnetic or electric fields on the two magnetoelectric laminates are identical, then the passband of the filter will drift under the changed external field; that is to say, the filter has the characteristics of external magnetic field tunability and electric field tunability. If the applied external bias magnetic or electric fields on two magnetoelectric laminates are different, then the passband will disappear so that the switching characteristic is achieved. When the same magnetic fields are applied to the laminates, the passband bandwidth of the two-stage cascaded magnetoelectric filter with two magnetoelectric laminates becomes nearly doubled in comparison with the passband filter which contains only one magnetoelectric laminate. The bandpass effect is also improved obviously. This research will provide a theoretical basis for the design, preparation, and application of a new high performance magnetoelectric tunable microwave device.展开更多

The ME effect is measured by applying both constant and alternating magnetic fields in longitudinal and transverse directions. The longitudinal ME voltage coefficient is much larger than the transverse one. With the increase of arc length or decrease of curvature, the resonance frequency of layered arc Ni/PZT/Ni composites gradually decreases, while the maximum of the ME voltage coefficient of the composites increases monotonously. The influence of the arc length and the curvature on ME coupling is discussed. The flat interface between the ferromagnetic and the piezoelectric phases in layered ME composites is believed to provide large ME voltage coefficient.展开更多

The interface between two adjacent sublayers, which are not perfectly bonded together, is modeled as a general spring-type layer. The mechanical displacements, and the electric and magnetic potentials of the two adjacent layers are assumed to be discontinuous at the interface. As an example, the influences of imperfect interfaces on the magnetoelectric (ME) coupling effects in an MF sandwich plate are investigated with the established 2D governing equations. Numerical results show that the imperfect interfaces have a significant impact on the ME coupling effects in MF laminated structures.展开更多

The phase diagram corresponds well with the previously reported data of neutron diffraction and magnetic susceptibility. Our main finding is the observation of a dielectric anomaly in the low temperature phase with a strong magnetoelectric effect, which is attributed to the independent Nd^3+ ordering. Moreover, the absence of the dielectric anomaly in the paramagnetic phase is discussed, keeping in view the exchange interaction and its dependence on the rareearth R^3+ ionic radius.展开更多

Due to its high permeability, Metglas can be incorporated as the third phase into conventional Pb(Zr, Ti)OJTerfenol-D laminates, which results in a stronger magnetoelectric(ME) response. The increase in Metglas thickness significantly influences the ME response as well. The ME voltage coefficient for a structure with a 150 grn thick Metglas layer on both sides of Terfenol-D/Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 laminates at 1 kHz was found to be 1.2 V/cmOe at dc magnetic bias field of 590 Oe under an ac magnetic drive of 1 Oe, which was notably higher in comparison to similar structures with other different Metglas thickness.

It is found that elastic modulus and thickness of the elastic layer have great influences on magnetoelectric(ME) voltage coefficient(α(ME)) and working range of frequency in PVDF-based MET device. The decrease of the modulus and thickness can help increase the α ME. However,it can also reduce the working range in the low frequency. By optimizing the parameters, the giant α(ME) of 320 V/cm·Oe(1 Oe = 79.5775 A·m^-1 at low frequency(1 Hz) can be obtained. The present results may help design PVDF-based MET low-frequency magnetic sensor with improved magnetic sensitivity in a relative large frequency range.展开更多

In order to implement this comparative research, Co-based amorphous alloy (CoSiB), Fe-based nanocrystalline alloy (FeCuNbSiB) and Fe-based amorphous alloy (FeSiB) are used according to different magnetostriction (2s) and saturation magnetization (μtoMs) characteristics. The bending and longitudinal resonant ME voltage coefficients (αME,b and αME,1) are observed comparatively for CoSiB/Ni/PZT, FeCuNbSiB/Ni/PZT, and FeSiB/Ni/PZT composites. The experimental data indicate that the FeSiB/Ni/PZT composite has the largest remanent self-biased aME,b and aME,1 due to the largest magnetic grading of λs and μ0Ms in the FeSiB/Ni layer. When the number of FeSiB foils is four, the maximum remanent aME,b and aME,I at zero bias magnetic field are 57.8 V/cm·Oe and 107.6 V/cm·Oe, respectively. It is recommended that the high-permeability alloy is supposed to have larger λs and μ0Ms for obtaining a larger remanent self-biased ME responses in ME composite with high-permeability alloy.展开更多

The interface between two adjacent sublayers, which are not perfectly bonded together, is modeled as a general spring-type layer. The mechanical displacements, and the electric and magnetic potentials of the two adjacent layers are assumed to be discontinuous at the interface. As an example, the influences of imperfect interfaces on the magnetoelectric (ME) coupling effects in an MF sandwich plate are investigated with the established 2D governing equations. Numerical results show that the imperfect interfaces have a significant impact on the ME coupling effects in MF laminated structures.

文摘The interfacial magnetoelectric interaction originating from multi-orbital hopping processes with ferroelectricassociated vector potential is theoretically investigated for complex-oxide composite structures.Large mismatch in the electrical permittivity of the ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials gives rise to giant anisotropic magnetoelectric effects at their interface.Our study reveals a strong linear dynamic magnetoelectric coupling which genuinely results in electric control of magnetic susceptibility.The constitutive conditions for negative refractive index of multiferroic composites are determined by the analysis of light propagation.
文摘Nature, 565, 35–42 (2019)In the last decade, transistor scaling has been enabled by direct improvements to the carrier transport and superior electrostatic control. Despite the successful scaling in the size of transistors, voltage and frequency scaling have slowed. In response, a considerable effort to invent, demonstrate and benchmark beyond-CMOS devices got underway.

文摘Using in situ electric-field-modulated anisotropic magnetoresistance measurement, a large reversible and non- volatile in-plane rotation of magnetic easy axis of -35° between the positive and negative electrical poling states is demonstrated in C040Fe40B20//(001)-cut Pb(Mgl/3Nb2/3)O3-25PbTiO3 (PMN-PT). The specific magneto- electric coupling mechanism therein is experimentally verified to be related to the synchronous in-plane strain rotation induced by 109° ferroelastic domain switching in the (001)-cut PMN-PT substrate.

文摘In this letter, we investigate the magnetic and ferroelectric properties of polycrystalline MnW1-xMoxO4 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20) compounds. The substitution of nonmagnetic Mo6+ ions for W6+ ions modifies the magnetic transition tem- peratures of MnW1-xMoxO4 by changing the Mn-O-Mn bond. As a result, distinct ferroelectric properties and enhanced magnetoelectric effects are observed in Mo6+-doped MnWO4 compounds. The effects of substitution of Mo6+ ions on magnetic properties and magnetoelectric coupling are discussed.

文摘The piezoelectric,ferromagnetism,and magnetoelectric response of BiFeO3-BaTiO3 ceramics with the compositions around the morphotropic phase boundary(MPB)of the solid solution are systematically investigated after the ceramics have been quenched from a high temperature.We find that the ferromagnetism of the quenched ceramics is greatly enhanced.An enhanced piezoelectric response d33 larger than 200 pC/N,which could be sustained up to 350℃,is measured.As a result of enhanced ferromagnetism and piezoelectric response,a large magnetoelectric response^1.3 V/cm·Oe(1 Oe=79.5775 A·m^-1)is obtained near the mechanical resonance frequency of the quenched ceramic samples.Our research also shows that in addition to the ferromagnetism and piezoelectric response,the mechanical quality factor is another important parameter to achieve high magnetoelectric response because the physical effects are coupled through mechanical interaction in BiFeO3-based materials.Our work suggests that quenching is an effective approach to enhancing the magnetoelectric response of BiFeO3-based materials and the materials belong to single-phase multiferroic materials with high magnetoelectric response.

文摘We have measured the dielectric constant for NdMn2O5 in an external magnetic field to map out the magnetoelectric phase diagram. The phase diagram corresponds well with the previously reported data of neutron diffraction and magnetic susceptibility. Our main finding is the observation of a dielectric anomaly in the low temperature phase with a strong magnetoelectric effect, which is attributed to the independent Nd^3+ ordering. Moreover, the absence of the dielectric anomaly in the paramagnetic phase is discussed, keeping in view the exchange interaction and its dependence on the rareearth R^3+ ionic radius.

文摘The magnetic field response results on a five-layer structure given as Metglas/Terfenol-D/ Pb(Zr,Ti)O3frerfenol-D/Metglas were reported. Due to its high permeability, Metglas can be incorporated as the third phase into conventional Pb(Zr, Ti)OJTerfenol-D laminates, which results in a stronger magnetoelectric(ME) response. The increase in Metglas thickness significantly influences the ME response as well. The ME voltage coefficient for a structure with a 150 grn thick Metglas layer on both sides of Terfenol-D/Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 laminates at 1 kHz was found to be 1.2 V/cmOe at dc magnetic bias field of 590 Oe under an ac magnetic drive of 1 Oe, which was notably higher in comparison to similar structures with other different Metglas thickness. Key words: laminates composites; magnetoelectric response; magnetic field; Metglas thickness

文摘A polyvinylidene-fluoride(PVDF)-based magnetoelectric torque(MET) device is designed with elastic layer sandwiched by PVDF layers, and low-frequency MET effect is carefully studied. It is found that elastic modulus and thickness of the elastic layer have great influences on magnetoelectric(ME) voltage coefficient(α(ME)) and working range of frequency in PVDF-based MET device. The decrease of the modulus and thickness can help increase the α ME. However,it can also reduce the working range in the low frequency. By optimizing the parameters, the giant α(ME) of 320 V/cm·Oe(1 Oe = 79.5775 A·m^-1 at low frequency(1 Hz) can be obtained. The present results may help design PVDF-based MET low-frequency magnetic sensor with improved magnetic sensitivity in a relative large frequency range.

文摘Because of the wide selectivity of ferromagnetic and ferroelectric(FE)components,electric-field(E-field)control of magnetism via strain mediation can be easily realized through composite multiferroic heterostructures.Here,an MgO-based magnetic tunnel junction(MTJ)is chosen rationally as the ferromagnetic constitution and a high-activity(001)-Pb(Mg_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))_(0.7)Ti_(0.3)O_(3)(PMN-0.3PT)single crystal is selected as the FE component to create a multiferroic MTJ/FE hybrid structure.The shape of tunneling magnetoresistance(TMR)versus in situ E-fields imprints the butterfly loop of the piezo-strain of the FE without magnetic-field bias.The E-field-controlled change in the TMR ratio is up to-0.27%without magnetic-field bias.Moreover,when a typical magnetic field(~±10 Oe)is applied along the minor axis of the MTJ,the butterfly loop is changed significantly by the E-fields relative to that without magnetic-field bias.This suggests that the E-field-controlled junction resistance is spin-dependent and correlated with magnetization switching in the free layer of the MTJ.In addition,based on such a multiferroic heterostructure,a strain-gauge factor up to approximately 40 is achieved,which decreases further with a sign change from positive to negative with increasing magnetic fields.This multiferroic hybrid structure is a promising avenue to control TMR through E-fields in low-power-consumption spintronic and straintronic devices at room temperature.

文摘We report on the magnetic and magnetoelectric properties of the Y-type hexaferrite BaSrZnMgFe12O22,which undergoes transitions from a collinear ferrimagnetic phase to a proper screw phase at 310 K and to a longitudinal conical phase at 45 K.Magnetic and electric measurements revealed that the magnetic structure with spiral spin order can be modified by applying a magnetic field,resulting in magnetically controllable electric polarization.It was observed that BaSrZnMgFe12O22 exhibits an anomalous magnetoelectric memory effect:the ferroelectric state can be partially recovered from the paraelectric phase with collinear spin structure by reducing magnetic field at 20 K.We ascribe this memory effect to the pinning of multiferroic domain walls,where spin chirality and structure are preserved even in the nonpolar collinear spin state.

文摘We comparatively investigate the influence of various high-permeability alloys on the hysteretic and remanent res- onant magnetoelectric (ME) response in a composite of magnetostrictive nickel (Ni) and piezoelectric Pb(Zrl_x, Tix)O3 (PZT). In order to implement this comparative research, Co-based amorphous alloy (CoSiB), Fe-based nanocrystalline alloy (FeCuNbSiB) and Fe-based amorphous alloy (FeSiB) are used according to different magnetostriction (2s) and saturation magnetization (μtoMs) characteristics. The bending and longitudinal resonant ME voltage coefficients (αME,b and αME,1) are observed comparatively for CoSiB/Ni/PZT, FeCuNbSiB/Ni/PZT, and FeSiB/Ni/PZT composites. The experimental data indicate that the FeSiB/Ni/PZT composite has the largest remanent self-biased aME,b and aME,1 due to the largest magnetic grading of λs and μ0Ms in the FeSiB/Ni layer. When the number of FeSiB foils is four, the maximum remanent aME,b and aME,I at zero bias magnetic field are 57.8 V/cm·Oe and 107.6 V/cm·Oe, respectively. It is recommended that the high-permeability alloy is supposed to have larger λs and μ0Ms for obtaining a larger remanent self-biased ME responses in ME composite with high-permeability alloy.
