Microwave Magneto-Electric Interactions in Multiferroics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
Investigations on microwave magneto-electric (ME) interactions at 1-10 GHz have been carried out on yttrium iron garnet (YIG)-lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and YIG-lead magnesium niobate lead titanate (PMN-PT) bilayers. Ferromagnetic resonance is a powerful tool for such studies. An electric field E applied to the composite produces a mechanical deformation in PZT or PMN-PT, resulting in a shift in the resonance field for YIG. Information on the nature of high frequency ME coupling has been obtained from data on resonance field shift vs E. A cavity resonator or stripline structure was used. The measured ME interactions are in the range 1-5 Oe cm/kV. The coupling strength has been found to be dependent on magnetic field orientation. The strongest interaction is measured in YIG-PZT systems. The design and characterization of ferromagnetic resonance based, electric field tunable ME resonators and filters are discussed.
