Electric field modulation of magnetic properties via magnetoelectric coupling in composite materials is of fundamental and technological importance for realizing tunable energy efficient electronics. Here we provide foundational analysis on magnetoelectric voltage tunable inductor (VTI) that exhibits extremely large inductance tunability of up to 1150% under moderate electric fields. This field dependence of inductance arises from the change of permeability, which correlates with the stress dependence of magnetic anisotropy. Through combination of analytical models that were validated by experimental results, comprehensive understanding of various anisotropies on the tunability of VTI is provided. Results indicate that inclusion of magnetic materials with low magnetocrystalline anisotropy is one of the most effective ways to achieve high VTI tunability. This study opens pathway towards design of tunable circuit components that exhibit field-dependent electronic behavior.

To develop voltage-controlled magnetization switching technologies for spintronics applications, a highly (422)-oriented CoFeSi layer on top of the piezoelectric PMN-PT(011) is experimentally demonstrated by inserting a vanadium (V) ultra-thin layer. The strength of the growth-induced magnetic anisotropy of the (422)-oriented CoFeSi layers can be artificially controlled by tuning the thicknesses of the inserted V and the grown CoFeSi layers. As a result, a giant converse magnetoelectric effect (over 10 s m) and a non-volatile binary state at zero electric field are simultaneously achieved in the (422)-oriented CoFeSi/V/PMN-PT(011) multiferroic heterostructure.

Flexible large strain sensors are an ideal choice for monitoring human motion, but the current use of flexible strain gauges is hindered by the need for external power sources and long-term operation requirements. Fiber-based sensors, due to their high flexibility, excellent breathability, and the ease with which they can be embedded into everyday clothing, have the potential to become a novel type of wearable electronic device. This paper proposes a flexible self-powered strain sensing material based on the electromagnetic induction effect, composed of a uniform mixture of Ecoflex and NdFeB, which has good skin-friendliness and high stretchability of over 100%.

ConspectusThe coupling of magnetic and electric properties manifested in magnetoelectric (ME) materials has unlocked numerous possibilities for advancing technologies like energy harvesting, memory devices, and medical technologies. Due to this unique coupling, the magnetic properties of these materials can be tuned by an electric field; conversely, their electric polarization can be manipulated through a magnetic field.Over the past seven years, our lab work has focused on leveraging these materials to engineer implantable bioelectronics for various neuromodulation applications.

This study introduces an innovative energy harvesting system designed for industrial applications such as fluid pipelines, air conditioning ducts, sewer systems, and subsea oil pipelines. The system integrates magneto-electric flow coupling and utilizes a dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) to mitigate the vibrations induced by fluid flow while simultaneously harvesting energy through magnetic dipole-dipole interactions in a vibration energy harvester (VEH). The theoretical models, based on Hamilton's Principle and the Biot-Savart Law, were validated through comprehensive experiments.
