Gyromagnetic Nonlinear Transmission Lines (NLTLs) generate microwaves through the damped gyromagnetic precession of the magnetic moments in ferrimagnetic material, and are thus utilized as compact, solid-state, frequency agile, high power microwave (HPM) sources. The output frequency of a NLTL can be adjusted by control of the externally applied bias field and incident voltage pulse without physical alteration to the structure of the device. This property provides a frequency tuning capability not seen in many conventional e-beam based HPM sources. The NLTLs developed and tested are mesoband sources capable of generating MW power levels in the L, S, and C bands of the microwave spectrum. For an individual NLTL the output power at a given frequency is determined by several factors including the intrinsic properties of the ferrimagnetic material and the transmission line structure. Hence, if higher power levels are to be achieved, it is necessary to combine the outputs of multiple NLTLs. This can be accomplished in free space using antennas or in a transmission line via a power combiner. Using a bias-field controlled delay, a transient, high voltage, coaxial, three port, power combiner was designed and tested. Experimental results are compared with the results of a transient COMSOL simulation to evaluate combiner performance.

Soft magnetoactive elastomers (MAEs) are currently considered to be promising materials for actuators in soft robotics. Magnetically controlled actuators often operate in the vicinity of a bias point. Their dynamic properties can be characterized by the piezomagnetic strain coefficient, which is a ratio of the time-harmonic strain amplitude to the corresponding magnetic field strength.

In this paper, we present a new type of isolator based on one-way surface magnetoplasmons (SMPs) at microwave frequencies, and it is the first time that an experimental prototype of isolator with wideband and ultra-high isolation is realized using SMP waveguide. The proposed model with gyromagnetic and dielectric layers is systematically analyzed to obtain the dispersion properties of all the possible modes, and a one-way SMP mode is found to have the unidirectional transmission property. In simulation and experiment with metallic waveguide loaded with yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) ferrite, the scattering parameters and the field distributions agree well with the analysis and verify the one-way transmission property.

Strain-Induced Robust Exchange Bias Effect in Epitaxial LaSrMnO/LaFeO Bilayers.

Molecules

Department of Chemical & Material Engineering, Lyuliang University, Lishi 033001, China.

The ground state of correlated electrons in complex oxide films can be controlled by applying epitaxial strain, offering the potential to produce unexpected phenomena applicable to modern spintronic devices. In this study, we demonstrate that substrate-induced strain strongly affects the coupling mode of interfacial magnetic moments in a ferromagnetic (FM)/antiferromagnetic (AFM) system. In an epitaxial bilayer comprising AFM LaFeO (LFO) and FM LaSrMnO (LSMO), samples grown on a LaAlO (LAO) substrate exhibit a larger exchange bias field than those grown on a SrTiO substrate.

Interfacial magnetism stimulates the discovery of giant magnetoresistance (MR) and spin-orbital coupling across the heterointerfaces, facilitating the intimate correlation between spin transport and complex magnetic structures. Over decades, functional heterointerfaces composed of nitrides have seldom been explored due to the difficulty in synthesizing high-quality nitride films with correct compositions. Here, the fabrication of single-crystalline ferromagnetic Fe N thin films with precisely controlled thicknesses is reported.

Ferroelectric Polarization Modulated Thermal Conductivity in Barium Titanate Ceramic.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Key Laboratory of Inorganic Functional Materials and Devices, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 200050, People's Republic of China.

Thermal conductivity dominates in a heat transfer medium, and a field modulated would facilitate delicate control in thermal management technology, yet it is hardly realized in a single solid material unless with changing temperature. Herein, in BaTiO ceramic, a modulated was discovered by adjusting ferroelectric polarization , which was a conventional strategy in ferroelectric functional materials. Four different states (P1, P2, P3, P4) were obtained by controlling poling time and field strength, showing that leaped from 2.
