Lumped-equivalent circuit model for multi-stage cascaded magnetoelectric dual-tunable bandpass filter

A lumped-equivalent circuit model of a novel magnetoelectric tunable bandpass filter, which is realized in the form of multi-stage cascading between a plurality of magnetoelectric laminates, is established in this paper for convenient analysis.The multi-stage cascaded filter is degraded to the coupling microstrip filter with only one magnetoelectric laminate and then compared with the existing experiment results. The comparison reveals that the insertion loss curves predicted by the degraded circuit model are in good agreement with the experiment results and the predicted results of the electromagnetic field simulation, thus the validity of the model is verified. The model is then degraded to the two-stage cascaded magnetoelectric filter with two magnetoelectric laminates. It is revealed that if the applied external bias magnetic or electric fields on the two magnetoelectric laminates are identical, then the passband of the filter will drift under the changed external field; that is to say, the filter has the characteristics of external magnetic field tunability and electric field tunability. If the applied external bias magnetic or electric fields on two magnetoelectric laminates are different, then the passband will disappear so that the switching characteristic is achieved. When the same magnetic fields are applied to the laminates, the passband bandwidth of the two-stage cascaded magnetoelectric filter with two magnetoelectric laminates becomes nearly doubled in comparison with the passband filter which contains only one magnetoelectric laminate. The bandpass effect is also improved obviously. This research will provide a theoretical basis for the design, preparation, and application of a new high performance magnetoelectric tunable microwave device.     

Theory of the magnetoelectric effect in ferromagnetic-piezoelectric heterostructures

A theory of the magnetoelectric effect in ferromagnetic-piezoelectric bilayer structures is considered for platelike samples. The magnetoelectric voltage coefficient is expressed through the parameters characterizing the magnetic and piezoelectric phases. It is shown that the magnetoelectric voltage coefficient considerably increases in the region of electromechanical resonance. The thickness ratio between the ferromagnetic and piezoelectric phases at which the magnetoelectric voltage coefficient is maximum is determined. The calculated magnetoelectric voltage coefficients for Permendur-PZT (lead zirconate titanate) structures are presented and compared with the experimental data.     

Study of magnetoelectric coupling effect in the hexagonal ferroelectromagnet

Soft-mode theory based on Diffour model for ferroelectric subsystem, and mean-field theory as well as Heisenberg model for antiferromagnetic subsystem are utilized to investigate the magnetoelectric coupling effect in a hexagonal ferroelectromagnet, in which the ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic orders spontaneously coexist below a certain temperature. An anomaly of polarization at the magnetic transition temperature is ascribed to the effect of magnetoelectric coupling. The magnetic excitation has also been studied by spin-wave theory over the three-sublattice model. It is demonstrated that role of magnetoelectric coupling effect is not only related with the strength of magnetoelectric coupling but also special spin lattice structure. Our results show the magnetic specific heat induced by magnetic excitation experiences a suppression by the magnetoelectric coupling.     

Magnetoelectric effect in an asymmetric layered magnet-piezoelectric structure

The magnetoelectric effect in magnet-piezoelectric layered composite structures is discussed. The magnetoelectric voltage and the magnetoelectric coefficient are calculated taking into account bending deformations that accompany tensile and compressive strains in structures with asymmetric positions of magnetic layers relative to the neutral plane. It is demonstrated that bending deformations lead to a nonuniform distribution of the electric field over the thickness of the piezoelectric layer and to a nonmonotonic dependence of the magnetoelectric coefficient on the thickness ratio of the layers in the structure.

Negative refraction and quantum vacuum effects in gyroelectric chiral medium and anisotropic magnetoelectric material

Some nontrivial effects (negative refraction and quantum vacuum effects) in gyroelectric chiral medium and magnetoelectric material are studied. It is shown that the refractive indices corresponding to some of the eigen modes in the gyroelectric chiral medium and magnetoelectric material may have negative real parts since both the gyroelectric and magnetoelectric parameters can dramatically reduce the refractive indices in certain frequency bands. As an anisotropic electromagnetic environment could be created due to the breaking of universal symmetry of vacuum mode distribution (and hence the noncompensation effect of a pair of counter‐propagating vacuum modes arises) inside the magnetoelectric material, the quantum vacuum in such an anisotropic electromagnetic environment may have a nonzero angular momentum. A novel quantum vacuum effect (angular momentum transfer between the quantum vacuum and the anisotropic magnetoelectric material) that may accompany the effect of magnetoelectric negative refraction is suggested. Such a nontrivial effect can be utilized to design sensitive, accurate measurement techniques, e.g., nanoscale‐sensitivity sensor.     

Ultralow-frequency magnetoelectric effect in a multilayer ferrite-piezoelectric structure

The magnetoelectric effect is experimentally studied in a multilayer nickel zinc ferrite-lead zirconate titanate structure at frequencies of 10^?3–10 Hz that is placed in a harmonically modulated magnetic field of amplitude to 1 kOe. The nonlinearity of the ferrite magnetostriction and the conductivity of the films are shown to double the frequency and distort the shape of the magnetoelectric voltage. The magnetoelectric signal amplitude decreases linearly with decreasing field modulation frequency. The feasibility of using the magnetoelectric effect to detect ultralow-frequency magnetic fields is demonstrated.
