Abstract: The coexistence of electric polarization and magnetization in multiferroic materials provides great opportunities for realizing magnetoelectric coupling, including electric field control of magnetism, or vice versa, through a strain mediated magnetoelectric coupling in layered magnetic/ferroelectric multiferroic heterostructures. Strong magnetoelectric coupling has been the enabling factor for different multiferroic devices, which however has been elusive, particularly at RF/microwave frequencies. In this presentation, I will cover the most recent progress on new integrated magnetoelectric materials, magnetoelectric NEMS (nanoelectromechanical system) based sensors and antennas. Specifically, we will introduce magnetoelectric multiferroic materials, and their applications in different devices, including: (1) novel ultra-compact RF NEMS acoustic magnetoelectric antennas immune from ground plane effect with < 0/100 in size, self-biased operation and ground plane immunity; (2) ultra-sensitive RF NEMS magnetoelectric magnetometers with ultra-low noise of ~1pT/Hz1/2at 10 Hz for DC and AC magnetic fields sensing, which are the most sensitive room temperature nanoscale magnetometers, and (3) voltage tunable inductors, phase shifters, isolating bandpass filters, etc. These novel magnetoelectric devices show great promise for applications in compact, lightweight and power efficient sensors, antennas and tunable components for radars, communication systems, biomedical devices, IoT, etc.

One Hour Q&A Session after the Research Talk on the 3+2 Joint Education Program between HUST and NU
The joint education program was started in 2015 as a combined Certificate and Master of Science program (“C + MS”, or 3+2 program) with three years of undergraduate education at HUST + two years at NU. Students have the freedom to choose their advisors for the BS Thesis and MS thesis research at NU. Coop and job opportunities available after graduation.
