A comprehensive investigation of magnetostriction optimization in Metglas 2605SA1 ribbons is performed to enhance magnetoelectric performance. We explore a range of annealing conditions to relieve remnant stress and align the magnetic domains in the Metglas, while minimizing unwanted crystallization. The magnetostriction coefficient, magnetoelectric coefficient, and magnetic domain alignment are correlated to optimize magnetoelectric performance. We report on direct magnetostriction observed by in-plane Doppler vibrometer and domain imagining using scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis for a range of annealing conditions. We find that annealing in an oxygen-free environment at 400 °C for 30 min yields an optimal magnetoelectric coefficient, magnetostriction and magnetostriction coefficient. The optimized ribbons had a magnetostriction of 50.6 ± 0.2 m m and magnetoelectric coefficient of 79.3 ± 1.5 m m mT. The optimized Metglas 2605SA1 ribbons and PZT-5A (d mode) sensor achieves a magnetic noise floor of approximately 600 pT Hz at 100 Hz and a magnetoelectric coefficient of 6.1 ± 0.03 MV m T.

The effects of Na doping on the structure magnetic, electric, and magnetoelectric properties of GaFeOwere studied. Rietveld refinement of the XRD data reveals the formation of a single-phase trigonal structure with no impurity on Na doping up to 50% and a significant increase in lattice strain with doping. FTIR and Raman analysis further supported the phase purity of the samples.

Vanadium dioxide as a strongly correlated electron material undergoes metal-insulator phase transitions and ferroelastic domain switching which highly couple to local strain distribution. Understanding the mechanisms and achieving the modulations require precise and high-resolution characterization of strain in vanadium dioxide. Micro-Raman spectroscopy is widely used to nondestructively characterize the strain on the surface of materials.

The latest synthesized monolayer (ML) MoSiN material exhibits stability in ambient conditions, suitable bandgap, and high mobilities. Its potential as a next-generation transistor channel material has been demonstrated through quantum transport simulations. However, in practical two-dimensional (2D) material transistors, the electrical contacts formed by the channel and the electrode must be optimized, as they are crucial for determining the efficiency of carrier injection.
