Synopsis

Composite Magnetoelectrics: Materials, Structures, 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 magnetic and current sensors, transducers for energy harvesting, microwave and millimeter wave devices, miniature antennas and medical imaging. The final chapter discusses progress towards magnetoelectric memory. * Summarises clearly the theory behind magnetoelectric phenomena* Strong coverage of fabrication and characterisation techniques* Reviews a broad range of current and potential magnetoelectric devices

From the Back Cover

Magnetoelectric materials, in which magnetism and electricity are combined, can be effectively employed in a range of important applications. The range and scope of their use has been greatly enhanced by developments in the fabrication of "artificial" composite magnetoelectric materials, produced by combining magnetic and ferroelectric materials in the form of multilayers or self-organized nanostructures. Composite magnetoelectrics: Materials, structures, and applications explores these developments in detail.

Part One provides an overview of the theory behind magnetoelectric phenomena, before going on to introduce magnetoelectric materials and structures, and the techniques used in their characterization and fabrication. Part Two then goes on to review the development and use of specific magnetoelectric devices. Applications including magnetic and current sensors, transducers for energy harvesting, microwave and millimetre wave devices, miniature antennas and medical imaging are discussed, before the book concludes by investigating the progression towards magnetoelectric memory.

Composite magnetoelectrics: Materials, structures, and applications is an indispensable guide to magnetoelectric materials for postgraduate students and researchers, as well as R&D managers working in such industrial sectors as semiconductor electronics, communication engineering, sensors and transducers, energy harvesting, radio frequency and antennas, microwave and millimetre wave technology, medical imaging, integrated circuits, spintronics, memory and nanotechnology.
