Magnetoelectric Composites: Materials, Structures, and Applications

by Gopalan Srinivasan (Editor), Shashank Priya (Editor), Nian Sun (Editor)

Overview

Magnetoelectric Composites: Materials, Devices and Applications gives the reader a summary of the theory behind magnetoelectric phenomena, later introducing magnetoelectric materials and structures and the techniques used to fabricate and characterize them. Part two of the book looks at magnetoelectric devices. Applications include magnetoelectric sensors, magnetoelectric antennas, transducers for energy harvesting, microwave and millimeter wave devices, miniature magnetoelectric systems for biomedical applications. The final chapter discusses progress towards magnetoelectric memory. This second edition is updated on the first edition published in 2015, with a timely and significant update and expansion on the contents from the first edition. This new edition starts with the phenomenon and theory of magnetoelectrics, materials in bulk laminates, thin film heterostructures, and nanocomposites. On the magnetoelectric devices side, the contents have been significantly expanded to include n energy harvesting, sensing, etc. In particular, there are new chapters on magnetoelectric antennas for VLF (very low frequencies), and magnetoelectric antennas for RF. This book is suitable for those who have been working on magnetoelectrics in the subject areas of materials science and engineering in academia and R&D. - Summarizes the theory behind magnetoelectric phenomena - Reviews fabrication and characterization techniques for magnetoelectric composites - Emphasizes ultracompact magnetoelectric antennas and reviews other applications of magnetoelectric composites
