Magnetoelectric Bi_(3.15)Nd_(0.85)Ti_3O_(12)–NiFe_2O_4 bilayer films derived by a SOL–GEL method

Magnetoelectric Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12–NiFe2O4(BNT–NFO) bilayer films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates by a simple SOL–GEL method and spin-coating process with different growth sequences of BNT and NFO yielding the following layered structures: BNT/NFO/substrate(BNS) and NFO/BNT/substrate(NBS). Such heterostructures present simultaneously strong ferroelectric and ferromagnetic responses,as well as magnetoelectric effects at room temperature. BNS thinfilms showed larger ME voltage coefficient than NBS films, revealing that the layer sequences have a significant in fluence on the magnetoelectric coupling behavior of these bilayer structures, which may be caused by a interfacial effect.     

Novel laminated multiferroic heterostructures for reconfigurable microwave devices

Voltage tuning of magnetism is fundamentally and technically important for fast, compact and ultra-low power electronic devices. Multiferroic heterostructures,simultaneously exhibiting distinct ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties, have caught a lot of attentions because of the capability of controlling magnetism by a voltage via a strain-mediated magnetoelectric（ME） coupling. In these materials, a voltage-induced strain is involved to create an effective magnetic field and change ferromagnetic resonance frequency in the coupled ferromagnetic phases through magnetoelastic interactions. Therefore, the devices made of such materials are compact, ultra-fast and energy efficient,providing new functionalities for microwave components.This paper will review the recent progress of multiferroics and their applications in microwave devices from different aspects, including the creation of the novel laminated multiferroic heterostructures with a strong ME coupling, the realization of the multiferroics based on tunable microwave signal processors and the investigation of nonvolatile tuning of microwave properties using ferroelastic domain switching in multiferroic heterostructures. These tunable multiferroic heterostructures and devices offer great opportunities for realizing the next generation of tunable magnetic microwave components, ultra-low power electronics and spintronics.     

磁电耦合对于多铁性材料CdCr2S4介电性质的影响

多铁性材料CdCr2S4在实验中被观测到的磁相变温度附近的介电异常现象,为一定温度区间内共存的弛豫铁电性和铁磁性提供了磁电耦合的依据。基于SRBRF模型和Heisenberg模型,我们提出形如 的磁电耦合形式,并计算出了最近邻磁自旋对关联 。最近邻自旋对关联 通过磁电耦合修正阻碍极化翻转的激活能的大小,使得被冻结在某一特定方向上的极化又能够在其它的可能取向上进行热翻转,改变了极化弛豫时间的分布,从而导致了介电性质在磁相变温度附近发生介电异常。同时,考虑磁场对介电性质的影响,得出的磁电容效应和实验数据很好吻合进一步证实了我们想法的正确性。     

A differential magnetoelectric laminated composite for vibration noise suppression

A magnetoelectric（ME） laminated composite made of one pair of piezoelectric Pb（Zr,Ti）O3（PZT） fiber layers with multiple push–pull polarization units laminated between high-permeability metglas ribbon layers with a differential configuration was proposed for vibration noise suppression. Unlike conventional metglas/PZT fiber/metglas three-layer ME laminated structures, the differential configuration has the capability to reject vibration-induced noise from the magnetic signal. The experiment results showed that the differential ME laminated composite was with up to 30 times enhancement in signal-to-noise ratio.

Multiferroic and magnetoelectric properties of La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19 ceramics

La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19 powders with similar hexagonal crystal structure to Ba Fe12O19 have been successfully synthesized using polymer precursor method. The powders were suppressed into pellets, which were sintered into ceramics at 1,300 °C for 1 h. The structure and morphology of the ceramics have been determined by X-ray diffraction（XRD） and field emission scanning electron microscopy（FESEM）. Clear electric hysteresis loops upon different amplitude of external fields indicates that La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19 is a kind of possible ferroelectric compound. The maximum remnant polarization of La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19 ceramic is estimated to be ＊9.6 l C/cm2. The Fe O6 octahedron in its perovskite-like hexagonal unit cell as well as the shift of Fe3？off the center of octahedron are proposed to be the origin of electric polarization in La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19. Simultaneous occurrence of large ferroelectricity and strong ferromagnetism has been observed in La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19 ceramics. More interestingly, this compound demonstrates electronic polarization behavior being actuated by an applied magnetic field, indicating the existence of magnetoelectric（ME） coupling effect in the La0.1Ba0.9Fe12O19 ceramics. Our results may lead to new device applications such as magnetically recorded ferroelectric memory.
