Magnetoelectric Composites: Materials, Structures, and Applications, Second Edition summarizes the theory behind magnetoelectric phenomena and then introduces magnetoelectric materials and structures and the techniques used to fabricate and characterize them. Part two of the book looks at magnetoelectric devices: applications covered include magnetoelectric sensors, magnetoelectric antennas, transducers for energy harvesting, microwave and millimetre wave devices, and miniature magnetoelectric systems for biomedical applications. The final chapter discusses progress toward magnetoelectric memory.
This new edition starts with the phenomena and theory of magnetoelectric materials in bulk laminates, thin-film heterostructures, and nanocomposites. On the magnetoelectric devices side, the contents have been significantly expanded to include energy harvesting, sensing, and magnetoelectric antennas. This book is suitable for materials scientists and engineers working on magnetoelectrics in academia and R&D.
- Summarizes the theory behind magnetoelectric phenomena
