Abstract State-of-the-art compact antennas rely on electromagnetic wave resonance, which leads to antenna sizes that are comparable the wavelength. As a result, typically have size greater than one-tenth of wavelength, and further miniaturization has been an open challenge for decades. Here we report acoustically actuated nanomechanical magnetoelectric (ME) with suspended ferromagnetic/piezoelectric thin-film heterostructure. These ME receive transmit waves through effect at their acoustic...
Abstract Ultra-compact wireless implantable medical devices are in great demand for healthcare applications, particular neural recording and stimulation. Current technologies based on miniaturized micro-coils suffer from low power transfer efficiency (PTE) not always compliant with the specific absorption rate imposed by Federal Communications Commission. Moreover, current reliant differential of voltage or across space require direct contact between electrode tissue. Here, we show an...
We report a highly sensitive NEMS DC/low frequency magnetic field sensor consisting of an AlN/FeGaB resonator, with ΔE effect-based sensing principle. Unlike previously reported detection schemes, such as observing induced magnetoelectric voltage, or monitoring impedance, we designed system to directly measure the reflected output voltage from function field. The resonator shows resonance shift 3.19 MHz (1.44%), which leads high DC sensitivity 2.8 Hz/nT and limit 800pT in unshielded, room...
An electric current in the presence of spin-orbit coupling can generate a spin accumulation that exerts torques on nearby magnetization. We demonstrate that, even absence materials with strong bulk coupling, torque arise solely due to interfacial namely, Rashba-Eldestein effects at metal/insulator interfaces. In magnetically soft NiFe sandwiched between weak metal (Ti) and insulator (${\mathrm{Al}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$), this appears as an effective field, which is significantly larger than...

Electromagnetic-based wireless are big because their large antenna, which must be larger than one-tenth wavelength operational frequency. Ultrasound-based devices, addition to low data rate, have massive loss skull need an intermediate electromagnetic...

Abstract Magnetization dynamics induced by spin–orbit torques in a heavy‐metal/ferromagnet can potentially be used to design low‐power spintronics and logic devices. Recent computations have suggested that strain‐mediated torque (SOT) switching magnetoelectric (ME) heterostructures is fast, energy‐efficient, permits deterministic 180° magnetization switching. However, its experimental realization has remained elusive. Here, the coexistence of ME coupling SOT CoFeB/Pt/ferroelectric hybrid...
Lack of nonreciprocity---in particular, nonreciprocity phase accumulation---is one the major drawbacks microwave solid-state acoustic devices, which has prevented development isolators and circulators.

Our system consists $\text{Fe-Ga-B}/{\mathrm{Al}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}/\text{Fe-Ga-B}$ multilayer on top ${\mathrm{LiNbO}}_{3}$ crystal. Maximum values observed nonreciprocal accumulation easily...

Miniaturized piezoelectric/magnetostrictive contour-mode resonators have been shown to be effective magnetometers by exploiting the ΔE effect. With dimensions of ~100-200 μm across and <1 thick, they offer high spatial resolution, portability, low power consumption, cost. However, a thorough understanding magnetic material behavior in these devices has lacking, hindering performance optimization. This manuscript reports on strong, nonlinear correlation observed between frequency response...
We experimentally investigate spin-orbit torque and spin pumping in Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$(YIG)/Pt bilayers with ultrathin insertion layers at the interface. An layer of Cu suppresses both pumping, whereas an Ni$_{80}$Fe$_{20}$ (permalloy, Py) enhances them, a quantitatively consistent manner reciprocity two transmission processes. However, we observe large enhancement Gilbert damping Py that cannot be accounted for solely by suggesting significant spin-memory loss due to interfacial magnetic...

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are operated three harmonics 0.8-2 GHz frequency range. Each magnetic material has unique signature: FeCo shows standard 4-lobe pattern broad ~100 mT linewidth; FeCoGd...
