DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL INTERFACE MEDIATED THIN FILM MULTIFERROICS FOR MULTIFUNCTIONAL APPLICATIONS
Abstract
The present proposal is focused on understanding the origin of magneto-electric effects in thin film nanostructures of ferroelectric/ferromagnetic multilayers. These effects can be due to interfacial charge and/or strain mediated magnetoelectric (ME) coupling and need to be understood through fundamental physics that governs the complexity of coexistence and interplay between different physical properties. The knowledge acquired through the execution of this basic research project will be valuable for designing and developing energy-efficient spintronics and voltage-tunable microwave and magnetoresistance devices of DoD interest that are based on electrostatic control of magnetism in a reversible and stable manner consisting of FE/FM/FE interfaces possessing large ME coupling that may enable to switch the magnetism at ultra-low power consumption.
