Abstract
Recently, topological responses of magnons have emerged as a central theme in magnetism and spintronics. However, resulting Hall responses are typically weak and infrequent, since, according to present understanding, they arise from effective spin-orbit couplings, which are weaker compared to the exchange energy. Here, by investigating transport properties of magnon orbital moments, we predict that the magnon orbital Nernst effect is an intrinsic characteristic of the honeycomb antiferromagnet and therefore, it manifests even in the absence of spin-orbit coupling. For the electric detection, we propose an experimental scheme based on the magnetoelectric effect. Our results break the conventional wisdom that the Hall transport of magnons requires spin-orbit coupling by predicting the magnon orbital Nernst effect in a system without it, which leads us to envision that our work initiates the intensive search for various magnon Hall effects in generic magnetic systems with no reliance on spin-orbit coupling.

Abstract
The search for novel materials with enhanced characteristics for the advancement of flexible electronic devices and energy harvesting devices is currently a significant concern. Multiferroics are a prominent example of energy conversion materials. The magnetoelectric conversion in a flexible composite based on a piezopolymer layer and a magnetic elastomer layer was investigated. The study focused on investigating the dynamic magnetoelectric effect in various configurations of external alternating and constant homogeneous magnetic fields (L-T and T-T configurations). The T-T geometry exhibited a two orders of magnitude higher coefficient of the magnetoelectric effect compared to the L-T geometry. Mechanisms of structure bending in both geometries were proposed and discussed. A theory was put forward to explain the change in the resonance frequency in a uniform external field. A giant value of frequency tuning in a magnetic field of up to 362% was demonstrated; one of the highest values of the magnetoelectric effect yet recorded in polymer multiferroics was observed, reaching up to 134.3 V/(Oe∙cm).

Abstract
Weyl semimetals resulting from either inversion (P) or time-reversal (T) symmetry breaking have been revealed to show the record-breaking large optical response due to intense Berry curvature of Weyl-node pairs. Different classes of Weyl semimetals with both P and T symmetry breaking potentially exhibit optical magnetoelectric (ME) responses, which are essentially distinct from the previously observed optical responses in conventional Weyl semimetals, leading to the versatile functions such as directional dependence for light propagation and gyrotropic effects. However, such optical ME phenomena of (semi)metallic systems have remained elusive so far. Here, we show the large nonlinear optical ME response in noncentrosymmetric magnetic Weyl semimetal PrAlGe, in which the polar structural asymmetry and ferromagnetic ordering break P and T symmetry. We observe the giant second harmonic generation (SHG) arising from the P symmetry breaking in the paramagnetic phase, being comparable to the largest SHG response reported in Weyl semimetal TaAs. In the ferromagnetically ordered phase, it is found that interference between this nonmagnetic SHG and the magnetically induced SHG emerging due to both P and T symmetry breaking results in the magnetic field switching of SHG intensity. Furthermore, such an interference effect critically depends on the light-propagating direction. The corresponding magnetically induced nonlinear susceptibility is significantly larger than the prototypical ME material, manifesting the existence of the strong nonlinear dynamical ME coupling. The present findings establish the unique optical functionality of P- and T-symmetry broken ME topological semimetals.

Abstract
Magnetoelectric (ME) magnetic field sensors are novel sensing devices of great interest in the field of biomagnetic measurements. We investigate the influence of magnetic crosstalk and the linearity of the response of ME sensors in different array and excitation configurations. To achieve this aim, we introduce a combined multiscale 3D finite-element method (FEM) model consisting of an array of 15 ME sensors and an MRI-based human head model with three approximated compartments of biological tissues for skin, skull, and white matter. A linearized material model at the small-signal working point is assumed. We apply homogeneous magnetic fields and perform inhomogeneous magnetic field excitation for the ME sensors by placing an electric point dipole source inside the head. Our findings indicate significant magnetic crosstalk between adjacent sensors leading down to a 15.6% lower magnetic response at a close distance of 5 mm and an increasing sensor response with diminishing crosstalk effects at increasing distances up to 5 cm. The outermost sensors in the array exhibit significantly less crosstalk than the sensors located in the center of the array, and the vertically adjacent sensors exhibit a stronger crosstalk effect than the horizontally adjacent ones. Furthermore, we calculate the ratio between the electric and magnetic sensor responses as the sensitivity value and find near-constant sensitivities for each sensor, confirming a linear relationship despite magnetic crosstalk and the potential to simulate excitation sources and sensor responses independently.

Abstract
This article is devoted to the theory of the converse magnetoelectric (CME) effect for the longitudinal, bending, longitudinal-shear, and torsional resonance modes and its quasi-static regime. In contrast to the direct ME effect (DME), these issues have not been studied in sufficient detail in the literature. However, in a number of cases, in particular in the study of low-frequency ME antennas, the results obtained are of interest. Detailed calculations with examples were carried out for the longitudinal mode on the symmetric and asymmetric structures based on Metglas/PZT (LN); the bending mode was considered for the asymmetric free structure and structure with rigidly fixed left-end Metglas/PZT (LN); the longitudinal-shear and torsional modes were investigated for the symmetric and asymmetric free structures based on Metglas/GaAs. For the identification of the torsion mode, it was suggested to perform an experiment on the ME structure based on Metglas/bimorphic LN. All calculation results are presented in the form of graphs for the CME coefficients.

Abstract
The resonant magnetoelectric (ME) effect of Fe78Si9B13/Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (FeSiB/PZT) composites with a surface-modified Fe78Si9B13 amorphous alloy has been studied. The surface-modified FeSiB can improve the ME coefficient at the resonant frequency by optimizing the magnetomechancial power conversion efficiency. The maximum ME coefficient of the surface-modified ribbons combined with soft PZT (PZT5) is two-thirds larger than that of the composites with fully amorphous ribbons. Meanwhile, the maximum value of the ME coefficient with surface-modified FeSiB ribbons and hard PZT (PZT8) is one-third higher compared with the fully amorphous composites. In addition, experimental results of magnetomechanical coupling properties of FeSiB/PZT composites with or without piezoelectric layers indicate that the power efficiency of the composites first decreases and then increases with the increase in the number of FeSiB layers. When the surface crystalline FeSiB ribbons are combined with a commercially available hard piezoelectric ceramic plate, the maximum magnetoelectric coupling coefficient of the ME composite reaches 5522 V/(Oe*cm), of which the electromechanical resonant frequency is 23.89 kHz.

Abstract
Magnetoelectric (ME) small-scale robotic devices attract great interest from the scientific community due to their unique properties for biomedical applications. Here, novel ME nano hetero-structures based on the biocompatible magnetostrictive MnFe2 O4 (MFO) and ferroelectric Ba0.85 Ca0.15 Zr0.1 Ti0.9 O3 (BCZT) are developed solely via the hydrothermal method for the first time. An increase in the temperature and duration of the hydrothermal synthesis results in increasing the size, improving the purity, and inducing morphology changes of MFO nanoparticles (NPs). A successful formation of a thin epitaxial BCZT-shell with a 2-5 nm thickness is confirmed on the MFO NPs (77 ± 14 nm) preliminarily treated with oleic acid (OA) or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), whereas no shell is revealed on the surface of pristine MFO NPs. High magnetization is revealed for the developed ME NPs based on PVP- and OA-functionalized MFO NPs (18.68 ± 0.13 and 20.74 ± 0.22 emu g-1 , respectively). Moreover, ME NPs demonstrate 95% degradation of a model pollutant Rhodamine B within 2.5 h under an external AC magnetic field (150 mT, 100 Hz). Thus, the developed biocompatible core-shell ME NPs of MFO and BCZT can be considered as a promising tool for non-invasive biomedical applications, environmental remediation, and hydrogen generation for renewable energy sources.

Abstract
This article presents a general theory of the ME effect in composites in the low- and high-frequency ranges. Besides the quasi-static region, the area of electromechanical resonance, including longitudinal, bending, longitudinal shear, and torsional modes, is considered in more detail. To demonstrate the theory, expressions of ME voltage coefficients are obtained for symmetric and asymmetric layered structures. A comparison is made with the experimental results for the GaAs/Metglas and LiNbO3/Metglas structures. The main microwave ME effect, consisting of the FMR line shift in an electric field, for the ferromagnetic metals, their alloys, and YIG ferrite using various piezoelectrics is discussed. In addition to analytical calculations, in the article, finite element modeling is considered. The calculation methods and experimental results are compared for some composites.

Abstract
Magnetic field sensors using magnetoelectric (ME) effects in planar ferromagnetic-piezoelectric heterostructures convert a magnetic field into an output voltage. The parameters of ME sensors are determined by characteristics of the magnetic constituent. In this work, the low-frequency ME effects in heterostructures comprising a layer of antiferromagnetic hematite α-Fe2O3 crystal with easy-plane anisotropy and a piezoelectric layer are studied. The effects arise due to a combination of magnetostriction and piezoelectricity because of mechanical coupling of the layers. The field dependences of magnetization and magnetostriction of the hematite crystal are measured. The resonant ME effects in the hematite-piezopolymer and hematite-piezoceramic structures are studied. The strong coupling between magnetic and acoustic subsystems of hematite results in a tuning of the acoustic resonance frequency by the magnetic field. For the hematite layer, the frequency tuning was found to be ~37% with an increase in the bias field up to 600 Oe. For the hematite-PVDF heterostructure, the frequency tuning reached ~24% and the ME coefficient was 58 mV/(Oe∙cm). For the hematite-piezoceramic heterostructure, the frequency tuning was ~4.4% and the ME coefficient 4.8 V/(Oe∙cm). Efficient generation of the second voltage harmonic in the hematite-piezoceramic heterostructure was observed.

Abstract
Multilayered magnetoelectric materials are of great interest for investigations due to their unique tuneable properties and giant values of magnetoelectric effect. The flexible layered structures consisting of soft components can reveal lower values of the resonant frequency for the dynamic magnetoelectric effect appearing in bending deformation mode. The double-layered structure based on the piezoelectric polymer polyvinylidene fluoride and a magnetoactive elastomer (MAE) with carbonyl iron particles in a cantilever configuration was investigated in this work. The gradient AC magnetic field was applied to the structure, causing the bending of the sample due to the attraction acting on the magnetic component. The resonant enhancement of the magnetoelectric effect was observed. The main resonant frequency for the samples depended on the MAE properties, namely, their thickness and concentration of iron particles, and was 156-163 Hz for a 0.3 mm MAE layer and 50-72 Hz for a 3 mm MAE layer; the resonant frequency depended on bias DC magnetic field as well. The results obtained can extend the application area of these devices for energy harvesting.

Abstract
This paper investigates the possibilities of creating magnetic field sensors using the direct magnetoelectric (ME) effect in a monolithic heterostructure of amorphous ferromagnetic material/langatate. Layers of 1.5 μm-thick FeCoSiB amorphous ferromagnetic material were deposited on the surface of the langatate single crystal using magnetron sputtering. At the resonance frequency of the structure, 107 kHz, the ME coefficient of linear conversion of 76.6 V/(Oe∙cm) was obtained. Furthermore, the nonlinear ME effect of voltage harmonic generation was observed with an increasing excitation magnetic field. The efficiency of generating the second and third harmonics was about 6.3 V/(Oe2∙cm) and 1.8 V/(Oe3∙cm), respectively. A hysteresis dependence of ME voltage on a permanent magnetic field was observed due to the presence of α-Fe iron crystalline phases in the magnetic layer. At the resonance frequency, the monolithic heterostructure had a sensitivity to the AC magnetic field of 4.6 V/Oe, a minimum detectable magnetic field of ~70 pT, and a low level of magnetic noise of 0.36 pT/Hz1/2, which allows it to be used in ME magnetic field sensors.

Abstract
In the present work, the magnetic properties of a single crystal (Fe1-xMnx)2Mo3O8 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) have been studied by performing extensive measurements. A detailed magnetic phase diagram is built up, in which the antiferromagnetic state dominates for x ≤ 0.25 and the ferrimagnetic phase arises for x ≥ 0.3. Meanwhile, a sizeable electric polarization of spin origin is commonly observed in all samples, no matter what the magnetic state is. For the samples hosting a ferrimagnetic state, square-like magnetic hysteresis loops are revealed, while the remnant magnetization and coercive field can be tuned drastically by simply varying the Mn content or temperature. A possible coexistence of the antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic phases is proposed to be responsible for the remarkable modulation of magnetic properties in the samples.

Abstract
Magnetoelectric (ME) materials induced by electron transfer are extremely rare. Electron transfer in these materials invariably occurs between the metal ions. In contrast, ME properties induced by electron transfer from an organic radical to a metal ion have never been observed. Here, we report the ME coupling effect in a mononuclear molecule-based compound [(CH3)3NCH2CH2Br][Fe(Cl2An)2(H2O)2] (1) [Cl2An = chloranilate, (CH3)3NCH2CH2Br+ = (2-bromoethyl)trimethylammonium]. Investigation of the mechanism revealed that the ME coupling effect is realized through electron transfer from the Cl2An to the Fe ion. Measurement of the magnetodielectric (MD) coefficient of 1 indicated a positive MD of up to ∼12% at 103.0 Hz and 370 K, which is very different from that of ME materials with conventional electron transfer for which the MD is generally negative. Thus, the current work not only presents a novel ME coupling mechanism, but also opens a new route to the synthesis of ME coupling materials.

Abstract
Nowadays, magnetoelectric nanomaterials are on their way to finding wide applications in biomedicine for various cancer and neurological disease treatment, which is mainly restricted by their relatively high toxicity and complex synthesis. This study for the first time reports novel magnetoelectric nanocomposites of CoxFe3-xO4-BaTiO3 series with tuned magnetic phase structures, which were synthesized via a two-step chemical approach in polyol media. The magnetic CoxFe3-xO4 phases with x = 0.0, 0.5, and 1.0 were obtained by thermal decomposition in triethylene glycol media. The magnetoelectric nanocomposites were synthesized by the decomposition of barium titanate precursors in the presence of a magnetic phase under solvothermal conditions and subsequent annealing at 700 °C. X-ray diffraction revealed the presence of both spinel and perovskite phases after annealing with average crystallite sizes in the range of 9.0-14.5 nm. Transmission electron microscopy data showed two-phase composite nanostructures consisting of ferrites and barium titanate. The presence of interfacial connections between magnetic and ferroelectric phases was confirmed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Magnetization data showed expected ferrimagnetic behavior and σs decrease after the nanocomposite formation. Magnetoelectric coefficient measurements after the annealing showed non-linear change with a maximum of 89 mV/cm*Oe with x = 0.5, 74 mV/cm*Oe with x = 0, and a minimum of 50 mV/cm*Oe with x = 0.0 core composition, that corresponds with the coercive force of the nanocomposites: 240 Oe, 89 Oe and 36 Oe, respectively. The obtained nanocomposites show low toxicity in the whole studied concentration range of 25-400 μg/mL on CT-26 cancer cells. The synthesized nanocomposites show low cytotoxicity and high magnetoelectric effects, therefore they can find wide applications in biomedicine.

Abstract
Many studies of the ME effect have been carried out in the microwave range in connection with the possibility of creating new electronic devices. One of the main microwave ME effects is the FMR line shift in an electric field, and the purpose of this article is to compare the FMR line shift in the ME structure in an electric field for a number of ferromagnetic metals, their alloys, and YIG ferrite using various piezoelectrics. This article discusses the regimes when the bias field is directed along the main axes of the magnetic component, while, as is known, the observed effect is due only to deformation. As a result of the study, ME structures with maximum and minimum microwave ME effects were found. In addition, the "substrate effect" in the piezoelectric YIG-GGG structure is considered.

Abstract
The geometry-dependent magnetoelectric (ME) and exchange bias (EB) effects of the nano ME sensor were investigated. The sensor consisted of the Longitudinal-Transverse (L-T) mode bi-layer bar structure comprising the ferromagnetic (FM) and ferroelectric (FE) materials and the anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) material. The bi-layer ME coefficient was derived from constitutive equations and Newton's second law. The trade-off between peak ME coefficient and optimal thickness ratio was realized. At the frequency × structure length = 0.1 and 1200, minimum and maximum peak ME coefficients of the Terfenol-D/PZT bi-layer were around 1756 and 5617 mV/Oe·cm, respectively, with 0.43 and 0.19 optimal thickness ratios, respectively. Unfortunately, the bi-layer could not distinguish the opposite magnetic field directions due to their similar output voltages. PtMn and Cr2O3, the AFM, were introduced to produce the EB effect. The simulation results showed the exchange field starting at a minimum PtMn thickness of 6 nm. Nevertheless, Cr2O3 did not induce the exchange field due to its low anisotropy constant. The tri-layer ME sensor consisting of PZT (4.22 nm)/Terfenol-D (18 nm)/PtMn (6 nm) was demonstrated in sensing 2 Tbit/in2 magnetic bits. The average exchange field of 5100 Oe produced the output voltage difference of 12.96 mV, sufficient for most nanoscale magnetic sensing applications.

Abstract
Non-contact mapping of magnetic fields produced by the human heart muscle requires the application of arrays of miniature and highly sensitive magnetic field sensors. In this article, we describe a MEMS technology of laminated magnetoelectric heterostructures comprising a thin piezoelectric lithium niobate single crystal and a film of magnetostrictive metglas. In the former, a ferroelectric bidomain structure is created using a technique developed by the authors. A cantilever is formed by microblasting inside the lithium niobate crystal. Metglas layers are deposited by magnetron sputtering. The quality of the metglas layers was assessed by XPS depth profiling and TEM. Detailed measurements of the magnetoelectric effect in the quasistatic and dynamic modes were performed. The magnetoelectric coefficient |α32| reaches a value of 492 V/(cm·Oe) at bending resonance. The quality factor of the structure was Q = 520. The average phase amounted to 93.4° ± 2.7° for the magnetic field amplitude ranging from 12 to 100 pT. An AC magnetic field detection limit of 12 pT at a resonance frequency of 3065 Hz was achieved which exceeds by a factor of 5 the best value for magnetoelectric MEMS lead-free composites reported in the literature. The noise level of the magnetoelectric signal was 0.47 µV/Hz1/2. Ways to improve the sensitivity of the developed sensors to the magnetic field for biomedical applications are indicated.

Abstract
A beam-like structure of antisymmetric laminated multiferroic piezoelectric semiconductor (LMPS), which consists of two piezomagnetic (PM) and two piezoelectric semiconductor (PS) layers is proposed. The structure could be in pure flexure deformation under an applied magnetic field. Through this deformation mode and the induced polarization field through the magneto-electro-semiconductive (MES) coupling mechanism, the semiconducting properties of PS layers can be manipulated by the applied magnetic field. In order to better understand and quantitatively describe this deformation mode, the one-dimensional governing equations for the LMPS beam are developed based on the three-dimensional theory. The analytical solutions are then presented for the LMPS cantilever beam with open-circuit conditions. The multi-field coupling responses of the LMPS cantilever beam under the longitudinal magnetic field are investigated. Numerical results show that the amplitude of each physical quantity is proportional to the applied magnetic field, and the thickness ratio of the PS phase plays a significant role in the MES coupling behaviors of the LMPS beam. The proposed structure can be integrated into cement structures but also fabricated cement-based multiferroic PS composite materials and structures. It provides an important material and structure basis for developing structural health monitoring systems in the fields of civil and transportation infrastructures.

Abstract
Polymer-based multiferroics, combining magnetic and piezoelectric properties, are studied experimentally-from synthesis to multi-parameter characterization-in view of their prospects for fabricating biocompatible scaffolds. The main advantage of these systems is facile generation of mechanical deformations and electric signals in response to external magnetic fields. Herein, we address the composites based on PVDF-TrFE polymer matrices filled with a combination of piezoelectric (BaTiO3, BTO) and/or ferrimagnetic (Zn0.25Co0.75Fe2O4, ZCFO) particles. It is shown that the presence of BTO micron-size particles favors stripe-type structuring of the ZCFO filler and enhances the magnetoelectric response of the sample up to 18.6 mV/(cm∙Oe). Besides that, the admixing of BTO particles is crucial because the mechanical properties of the composite filled with only ZCFO is much less efficient in transforming magnetic excitations into the mechanical and electric responses. Attention is focused on the local surfacial mechanical properties since those, to a great extent, determine the fate of stem cells cultivated on these surfaces. The nano-indentation tests are accomplished with the aid of scanning probe microscopy technique. With their proven suitable mechanical properties, a high level of magnetoelectric conversion and also biocompatibility, the composites of the considered type are enticing as the materials for multiferroic-based polymer scaffolds.

Abstract
Pressure, as an independent thermodynamic parameter, is an effective tool to obtain novel material system and exotic physical phenomena not accessible at ambient conditions, because it profoundly modifies the charge, orbital and spin state by reducing the interatomic distance in crystal structure. However, the studies of magnetoelectricity and multiferroicity are rarely extended to high pressure dimension due to properties measured inside the high pressure vessel being a challenge. Here we reported the temperature-magnetic field-pressure magnetoelectric (ME) phase diagram of Y type hexaferrite Ba0.4Sr1.6Mg2Fe12O22derived from static pyroelectric current measurement and dynamic magnetodielectric in diamond anvil cell and piston cylinder cell. We found that a new spin-driven ferroelectric phase emerged atP= 0.7 GPa and sequentially ME effect disappeared aroundP= 4.3 GPa. The external pressure may enhance easy plane anisotropy to destabilize the longitudinal conical magnetic structure with the suppression of ME coefficient. These results offer essential clues for the correlation between ME effect and magnetic structure evolution under high pressure.

Abstract
As the development of wireless communication devices tends to be highly integrated, the miniaturization of very low frequency (VLF) antenna units has always been an unresolved issue. Here, a novel VLF mechanical communication antenna using magnetoelectric (ME) laminates with bending-mode structure is realized. ME laminates combines magnetostrictive Metglas amorphous ribbons and piezoelectric 0.7Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.3PbTiO3single crystal plates. From the simulation, we confirmed that the ME laminates can reduce the resonance peak from 18 kHz to 7.5 kHz by bending-mode structure. Experiment results show the resonance frequency can be farther reduced to 6.3 kHz by clamping one end of the ME antenna. The ME laminate exhibits a giant converse ME coefficient of 6 Oe cm V-1at 6.3 kHz. The magnetic flux density generated by the ME antenna has been tested along with distance ranging from 0 to 60 cm and it is estimated that a 1 fT flux could be detected around 100 m with an excitation power of 10 mW.

Abstract
The review is devoted to the fundamental aspects and characteristic features of the magnetoelectric effects, reported in the literature on Josephson junctions (JJs). The main focus of the review is on the manifestations of the direct and inverse magnetoelectric effects in various types of Josephson systems. They provide a coupling of the magnetization in superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor JJs to the Josephson current. The direct magnetoelectric effect is a driving force of spin torques acting on the ferromagnet inside the JJ. Therefore it is of key importance for the electrical control of the magnetization. The inverse magnetoelectric effect accounts for the back action of the magnetization dynamics on the Josephson subsystem, in particular, making the JJ to be in the resistive state in the presence of the magnetization dynamics of any origin. The perspectives of the coupling of the magnetization in JJs with ferromagnetic interlayers to the Josephson current via the magnetoelectric effects are discussed.

Abstract
In this article, we performed symmetry analysis of perovskite-based multiferroics: bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3)-like, orthochromites (RCrO3), and Ruddlesden–Popper perovskites (Ca3Mn2O7-like), being the typical representatives of multiferroics of the trigonal, orthorhombic, and tetragonal crystal families, and we explored the effect of crystallographic distortions on magnetoelectric properties. We determined the principal order parameters for each of the considered structures and obtained their invariant combinations consistent with the particular symmetry. This approach allowed us to analyze the features of the magnetoelectric effect observed during structural phase transitions in BixR1−xFeO3 compounds and to show that the rare-earth sublattice has an impact on the linear magnetoelectric effect allowed by the symmetry of the new structure. It was shown that the magnetoelectric properties of orthochromites are attributed to the couplings between the magnetic and electric dipole moments arising near Cr3+ ions due to distortions linked with rotations and deformations of the CrO6 octahedra. For the first time, such a symmetry consideration was implemented in the analysis of the Ruddlesden–Popper structures, which demonstrates the possibility of realizing the magnetoelectric effect in the Ruddlesden–Popper phases containing magnetically active cations, and allows the estimation of the conditions required for its optimization.

Abstract
One of the new materials that have recently attracted wide attention of researchers are magnetoelectric (ME) composites. Great interest in these materials is due to their properties associated with the transformation of electric polarization/magnetization under the influence of external magnetic/electric fields and the possibility of their use to create new devices. In the proposed review, ME magnetic field sensors based on the widely used structures Terfenol—PZT/PMN-PT, Metglas—PZT/PMN-PT, and Metglas—Lithium niobate, among others, are considered as the first applications of the ME effect in technology. Estimates of the parameters of ME sensors are given, and comparative characteristics of magnetic field sensors are presented. Taking into account the high sensitivity of ME magnetic field sensors, comparable to superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), we discuss the areas of their application.

Abstract
Objective.Compared to biomedical devices with implanted batteries, wirelessly powered technologies can be longer-lasting, less invasive, safer, and can be miniaturized to access difficult-to-reach areas of the body. Magnetic fields are an attractive wireless power transfer modality for such bioelectronic applications because they suffer negligible absorption and reflection in biological tissues. However, current solutions using magnetic fields for mm sized implants either operate at high frequencies (>500 kHz) or require high magnetic field strengths (>10 mT), which restricts the amount of power that can be transferred safely through tissue and limits the development of wearable power transmitter systems. Magnetoelectric (ME) materials have recently been shown to provide a wireless power solution for mm-sized neural stimulators. These ME transducers convert low magnitude (<1 mT) and low-frequency (∼300 kHz) magnetic fields into electric fields that can power custom integrated circuits or stimulate nearby tissue.Approach.Here we demonstrate a battery-powered wearable magnetic field generator that can power a miniaturized MagnetoElectric-powered Bio ImplanT 'ME-BIT' that functions as a neural stimulator. The wearable transmitter weighs less than 0.5 lbs and has an approximate battery life of 37 h.Main results.We demonstrate the ability to power a millimeter-sized prototype 'ME-BIT' at a distance of 4 cm with enough energy to electrically stimulate a rat sciatic nerve. We also find that the system performs well under translational misalignment and identify safe operating ranges according to the specific absorption rate limits set by the IEEE Std 95.1-2019.Significance.These results validate the feasibility of a wearable system that can power miniaturized ME implants that can be used for different neuromodulation applications.

Abstract
This study reports a strong ME effect in thin-film composites consisting of nickel, iron, or cobalt foils and 550 nm thick AlN films grown by PE-ALD at a (low) temperature of 250 °C and ensuring isotropic and highly conformal coating profiles. The AlN film quality and the interface between the film and the foils are meticulously investigated by means of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and the adhesion test. An interface (transition) layer of partially amorphous AlxOy/AlOxNy with thicknesses of 10 and 20 nm, corresponding to the films grown on Ni, Fe, and Co foils, is revealed. The AlN film is found to be composed of a mixture of amorphous and nanocrystalline grains at the interface. However, its crystallinity is improved as the film grew and shows a highly preferred (002) orientation. High self-biased ME coefficients (αME at a zero-bias magnetic field) of 3.3, 2.7, and 3.1 V·cm-1·Oe-1 are achieved at an off-resonance frequency of 46 Hz in AlN/Ni thin-film composites with different Ni foil thicknesses of 7.5, 15, and 30 μm, respectively. In addition, magnetoelectric measurements have also been carried out in composites made of 550 nm thick films grown on 12.5 μm thick Fe and 15 μm thick Co foils. The maximum magnetoelectric coefficients of AlN/Fe and AlN/Co composites are 0.32 and 0.12 V·cm-1·Oe-1, measured at 46 Hz at a bias magnetic field (Hdc) of 6 and 200 Oe, respectively. The difference of magnetoelectric transducing responses of each composite is discussed according to interface analysis. We report a maximum delivered power density of 75 nW/cm3 for the AlN/Ni composite with a load resistance of 200 kΩ to address potential energy harvesting and electromagnetic sensor applications.

Abstract
Magnetoelectric (ME) effect is a type of cross-coupling between unconjugated physical quantities, such as the interplay between magnetization and electric field. The ME effect requires simultaneous breaking of spatial and time inversion symmetries, and it sometimes appears in specific antiferromagnetic (AFM) insulators. In recent years, there has been a growing interest for applying the ME effect to spintronic devices, where the effect is utilized as an input method for the digital information. In this article, we review the recent progress of this scheme mainly based on our own achievements. We particularly focus on several fundamental issues, including the ME control of the AFM domain state, which is detectable through the perpendicular exchange bias polarity. The progress made in understanding the switching mechanism, interpretation of the switching energy, switching dynamics, and finally, the future prospects are included.

Abstract
Polymer-based magnetoelectric composite materials have attracted a lot of attention due to their high potential in various types of applications as magnetic field sensors, energy harvesting, and biomedical devices. Current researches are focused on the increase in the efficiency of magnetoelectric transformation. In this work, a new strategy of arrangement of clusters of magnetic nanoparticles by an external magnetic field in PVDF and PFVD-TrFE matrixes is proposed to increase the voltage coefficient (αME) of the magnetoelectric effect. Another strategy is the use of 3-component composites through the inclusion of piezoelectric BaTiO3 particles. Developed strategies allow us to increase the αME value from ~5 mV/cm·Oe for the composite of randomly distributed CoFe2O4 nanoparticles in PVDF matrix to ~18.5 mV/cm·Oe for a composite of magnetic particles in PVDF-TrFE matrix with 5%wt of piezoelectric particles. The applicability of such materials as bioactive surface is demonstrated on neural crest stem cell cultures.

Abstract
The magnetoelectric effect is a fundamental physical phenomenon that synergizes electric and magnetic degrees of freedom to generate distinct material responses like electrically tuned magnetism, which serves as a key foundation of the emerging field of spintronics. Here, we show by first-principles studies that ferroelectric (FE) polarization of an In2Se3 monolayer can modulate the magnetism of an adjacent transition-metal (TM)-decorated graphene layer via a ferroelectrically induced electronic transition. The TM nonbonding d-orbital shifts downward and hybridizes with carbon-p states near the Fermi level, suppressing the magnetic moment, under one FE polarization, but on reversed FE polarization this TM d-orbital moves upward, restoring the original magnetic moment. This finding of robust magnetoelectric effect in the TM-decorated graphene/In2Se3 heterostructure offers powerful insights and a promising avenue for experimental exploration of ferroelectrically controlled magnetism in two-dimensional (2D) materials.

Abstract
The article is devoted to the theoretical and experimental study of a magnetoelectric (ME) current sensor based on a gradient structure. It is known that the use of gradient structures in magnetostrictive-piezoelectric composites makes it possible to create a self-biased structure by replacing an external magnetic field with an internal one, which significantly reduces the weight, power consumption and dimensions of the device. Current sensors based on a gradient bidomain structure LiNbO3 (LN)/Ni/Metglas with the following layer thicknesses: lithium niobate—500 μm, nickel—10 μm, Metglas—29 μm, operate on a linear section of the working characteristic and do not require the bias magnetic field. The main characteristics of a contactless ME current sensor: its current range measures up to 10 A, it has a sensitivity of 0.9 V/A, its current consumption is not more than 2.5 mA, and its linearity is maintained to an accuracy of 99.8%. Some additional advantages of a bidomain lithium niobate-based current sensor are the increased sensitivity of the device due to the use of the bending mode in the electromechanical resonance region and the absence of a lead component in the device.

Abstract
This paper presents the first wireless and programmable neural stimulator leveraging magnetoelectric (ME) effects for power and data transfer. Thanks to low tissue absorption, low misalignment sensitivity and high power transfer efficiency, the ME effect enables safe delivery of high power levels (a few milliwatts) at low resonant frequencies ( ∼ 250 kHz) to mm-sized implants deep inside the body (30-mm depth). The presented MagNI (Magnetoelectric Neural Implant) consists of a 1.5-mm 2 180-nm CMOS chip, an in-house built 4 × 2 mm ME film, an energy storage capacitor, and on-board electrodes on a flexible polyimide substrate with a total volume of 8.2 mm 3. The chip with a power consumption of 23.7 μW includes robust system control and data recovery mechanisms under source amplitude variations (1-V variation tolerance). The system delivers fully-programmable bi-phasic current-controlled stimulation with patterns covering 0.05-to-1.5-mA amplitude, 64-to-512- μs pulse width, and 0-to-200-Hz repetition frequency for neurostimulation.

Abstract
The paper is devoted to the possibility of using magnetoelectric materials for the production of a crankshaft position sensor for automobiles. The composite structure, consisting of a PZT or LiNbO3 piezoelectric with a size of 20 mm × 5 mm × 0.5 mm, and plates of the magnetostrictive material Metglas of the appropriate size were used as a sensitive element. The layered structure was made from a bidomain lithium niobate monocrystal with a Y + 128° cut and amorphous metal of Metglas. Various combinations of composite structures are also investigated; for example, asymmetric structures using a layer of copper and aluminum. The output characteristics of these structures are compared in the resonant and non-resonant modes. It is shown that the value of the magnetoelectric resonant voltage coefficient was 784 V/(cm·Oe), and the low-frequency non-resonant magnetoelectric coefficient for the magnetoelectric element was about 3 V/(cm·Oe). The principle of operation of the position sensor and the possibility of integration into automotive systems, using the CAN bus, are examined in detail. To obtain reliable experimental results, a special stand was assembled on the basis of the SKAD-1 installation. The studies showed good results and a high prospect for the use of magnetoelectric sensors as position sensors and, in particular, of a vehicle’s crankshaft position sensor.

Abstract
While most active plasmonic efforts focus on responsive metamaterials to modulate optical response, we present a simple alternative based on applied orientation control that can likely be implemented for many passive plasmonic materials. Passive plasmonic motifs are simpler to prepare but cannot be altered postfabrication. We show that such systems can be easily manipulated through substrate orientation control to generate both active plasmonic and active chiral plasmonic responses. Using gold nanocrescents as our model platform, we demonstrate tuning of optical extinction from -21% to +36% at oblique incidence relative to normal incidence. Variation of substrate orientation in relation to incident polarization is also demonstrated to controllably switch chiroptical handedness (e.g., Δg = ± 0.55). These active plasmonic responses arise from the multipolar character of resonant modes. In particular, we correlate magnetoelectric and dipole-quadrupole polarizabilities with different light-matter orientation-dependence in both near- and far-field localized surface plasmon activity. Additionally, the attribution of far-field optical response to higher-order multipoles highlights the sensitivity offered by these orientation-dependent characterization techniques to probe the influence of localized electromagnetic field gradients on a plasmonic response. The sensitivity afforded by orientation-dependent optical characterization is further observed by the manifestation in both plasmon and chiral plasmon responses of unpredicted structural nanocrescent variance (e.g., left- and right-tip asymmetry) not physically resolved through topographical imaging.

Abstract
A voltage transformer employing the magnetoelectric effect in a composite ceramic heterostructure with layers of a magnetostrictive nickel–cobalt ferrite and a piezoelectric lead zirconate–titanate is described. In contrast to electromagnetic and piezoelectric transformers, a unique feature of the presented transformer is the possibility of tuning the voltage transformation ratio K using a dc magnetic field. The dependences of the transformer characteristics on the frequency and the amplitude of the input voltage, the strength of the control magnetic field and the load resistance are investigated. The transformer operates in the voltage range between 0 and 112 V, and the voltage transformation ratio K is tuned between 0 and 14.1 when the control field H changes between 0 and 6.4 kA/m. The power at the transformer output reached 63 mW, and the power conversion efficiency was 34%. The methods for calculation of the frequency response, and the field and load characteristics of the transformer are proposed. The ways to improve performance characteristics of magnetoelectric transformers and their possible application areas are discussed.

Abstract
Parasitic magnetism plays an important role in magnetoelectric spin switching of antiferromagnetic oxides, but its mechanism has not been clearly investigated. Unlike the widely obtained surface boundary magnetization in magnetoelectric Cr2O3 antiferromagnet, we previously reported that Al doping could produce volume-dependent parasitic magnetism (Mpara) in Cr2O3 with the remaining magnetoelectric effect and antiferromagnetic properties. In this work, we systematically investigated the magnetic properties of Mpara in Cr2O3 through its different exchange coupling characteristics with the ferromagnet at various conditions. The columnar grain boundaries cause an antiferromagnetic sublattice breaking to produce uncompensated spins and thus are considered to be responsible for Mpara in both undoped and Al-doped Cr2O3. Finally, a model was proposed for the formation mechanism of the parasitic magnetism in Cr2O3, which explains the reported magnetic characteristics of Cr2O3, and some current topics such as the domain formation and motion in Cr2O3 during magnetoelectric spin switching. This work contributes to a deep understanding of antiferromagnetic spintronics and provides a method to realize the low-energy operation of antiferromagnetic-based magnetic random access memory.

Abstract
Magnetoelectric (ME) power efficiency is a more important property than the ME voltage or the current coefficients for power conversion applications. This paper introduces an analytical model that describes the relation between the external magnetic field and the power efficiency in layered ME composites. It is a two-phase model. The first fragment establishes the expression between the magnetic field strength and the temperature increase within an operating period. It uses a magneto-elasto-electric equivalent circuit model that was developed by Dong et al. Following previous investigations; the main loss source is the mechanical power dissipation. The second fragment links the power efficiency and the temperature increase in a heat-balanced system. This method is generally used by researchers in the piezoelectric field. The analytical model and the experimental data shows that the decrease of the power efficiency in a laminated composite is between 5% and 10% for a power density of 10 W/in3 (0.61 W/cm3) to 30 W/in3 (1.83 W/cm3). The failure mechanism/process of ME composites under high power density can be estimated/monitored by the proposed method for ME composites in practical applications.

Abstract
The magnetoelectric (ME) response in a trilayer structure consisting of magnetostrictive Fe77.5B15Si17.5 amorphous microwires between two piezoelectric PZT (PbZr0.53Ti0.47O3) layers was investigated. Soft magnetic properties of wires make it possible to operate under weak bias magnetic fields below 400 A/m. Enhanced ME voltage coefficients were found when the microwires were excited by ac magnetic field of a frequency of 50–60 kHz, which corresponded to the frequency of electromechanical resonance. The as-prepared microwires were in a glass coat creating a large thermoelastic stress and forming a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. The effect of glass-coat removal and wire annealing on ME coupling was investigated. The glass coat not only affects the wire magnetic structure but also prevents the interfacial bonding between the electric and magnetic subsystems. However, after its removal, the ME coefficient increased slightly less than 10%. Refining the micromagnetic structure and increasing the magnetostriction by stress release during wire annealing (before or after glass removal) strongly increases the ME response up to 100 mV/(cm × Oe) and reduces the characteristic DC magnetic field down to 240 A/m. Although the achieved ME coefficient is smaller than reported values for multilayered films with layers of PZT and soft magnetic alloys as Metglass, the proposed system is promising considering a small volume proportion of microwires.

Abstract
Multiferroic materials with coupled ferroelectric (FE) and ferromagnetic (FM) properties are important for multifunctional devices because of their potential ability of controlling magnetism via electric field and vice versa. The recent discoveries of two-dimensional (2D) FM and FE materials have ignited tremendous research interest and aroused hope to search for 2D multiferroics. However, intrinsic 2D multiferroic materials and, particularly, those with strong magnetoelectric couplings are still rare to date. In this paper, using first-principles simulations, we propose artificial 2D multiferroics via a van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure formed by FM bilayer chromium triiodide (CrI3) and FE monolayer Sc2CO2. In addition to the coexistence of ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity, our calculations show that, by switching the electric polarization of Sc2CO2, we can tune the interlayer magnetic couplings of bilayer CrI3 between the FM and antiferromagnetic states. We further reveal that such a strong magnetoelectric effect is from a dramatic change of the band alignment induced by the strong built-in electric polarization in Sc2CO2 and the subsequent change of the interlayer magnetic coupling of bilayer CrI3. These artificial multiferroics and enhanced magnetoelectric effect give rise to realizing multifunctional nanoelectronics by vdW heterostructures.

Abstract
We demonstrate a flexible nonvolatile multilevel memory and artificial synaptic devices based on the Cu/P(VDF-TrFE)/Ni memtranstor which exhibits pronounced nonlinear magnetoelectric effects at room temperature. The states of the magnetoelectric voltage coefficient αE of the memtranstor are used to encode binary information. By applying selective electric-field pulses, the states of αE can be switched repeatedly among 2n states (n = 1, 2, 3) in a zero dc bias magnetic field. In addition, the magnetoelectric coefficient is used to act as synaptic weight, and the induced magnetoelectric voltage VME is regarded as postsynaptic potentials (excitatory or inhibitory). The artificial synaptic devices based on the Cu/P(VDF-TrFE)/Ni memtranstor display the long-term potentiation (depression) and spiking-time-dependent plasticity behaviors. The advantages of a simple structure, flexibility, multilevel, and self-biasing make the Cu/P(VDF-TrFE)/Ni organic memtranstor a promising candidate for applications in nonvolatile memory as well as artificial synaptic devices with low energy consumption.

Abstract
In this paper, we develop a theoretical principle to calculate the direct and converse magnetoelectric (ME) coupling response of ferromagnetic/ferroelectric composites with 2-2 connectivity. We first present an experimentally based constitutive equation for Terfenol-D, and then build the mechanism of domain switch for the ferroelectric phase. In the latter, the change of Gibbs free energy, thermodynamic driving force and kinetic equations for domain growth are also established. These two sets of constitutive equations are shown to capture the experimental data of Terfenol-D and PZT, respectively, well. For the direct effect under an applied magnetic field, the induced electric field and the overall ME coupling coefficient are determined. For the converse effect under an applied electric field, the induced magnetization and the excited magnetic field are obtained. Both the induced electric filed under direct effect and the excited magnetic field under converse effect are shown to display the hysteretic characteristics, and also in good agreement with experiments. We conclude that the developed theory can both qualitatively and quantitatively reflect the essential features of nonlinear direct and converse ME coupling of the multiferroic composites.

Abstract
The control of magnetism by means of low-power electric fields, rather than dissipative flowing currents, has the potential to revolutionize conventional methods of data storage and processing, sensing, and actuation. A promising strategy relies on the utilization of magnetoelectric composites to finely tune the interplay between electric and magnetic degrees of freedom at the interface of two functional materials. Albeit early works predominantly focused on the magnetoelectric coupling at solid/solid interfaces; however, recently there has been an increased interest related to the opportunities offered by liquid-gating techniques. Here, a comparative overview on voltage control of magnetism in all-solid-state and solid/liquid composites is presented within the context of the principal coupling mediators, i.e., strain, charge carrier doping, and ionic intercalation. Further, an exhaustive and critical discussion is carried out, concerning the suitability of using the common definition of coupling coefficient α C = Δ M Δ E to compare the strength of the interaction between electricity and magnetism among different magnetoelectric systems.

Abstract
In this paper, the magnetoelectric (ME) effect is investigated in two kinds of A-line shape Terfenol-D/PZT-5A structures by changing the position of the NdFeB permanent magnet. The experimental results show that both ME composite structures had multiple resonance peaks. For the ME structure with acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) trestles, the resonance peak was different for different places of the NdFeB permanent magnet. Besides, the maximum of the ME coefficient was 4.142 V/A at 32.2 kHz when the NdFeB permanent magnet was on top of the Terfenol-D layer. Compared with the ME coefficient with a DC magnetic field, the ME coefficient with NdFeB magnets still maintained high values in the frequency domain of 65~87 kHz in the ME structure with mica trestles. Through Fourier transform analysis of the transient signal, it is found that the phenomenon of multiple frequencies appeared at low field frequency but not at high field frequency. Moreover, the output ME voltages under different AC magnetic fields are shown. Changing the amplitude of AC magnetic field, the magnitude of the output voltage changed, but the resonant frequency did not change. Finally, a finite element analysis was performed to evaluate the resonant frequency and the magnetic flux distribution characteristics of the ME structure. The simulation results show that the magnetic field distribution on the surface of Terfenol-D is non-uniform due to the uneven distribution of the magnetic field around NdFeB. The resonant frequencies of ME structures can be changed by changing the location of the external permanent magnet. This study may provide a useful basis for the improvement of the ME coefficient and for the optimal design of ME devices.

Abstract
Two dimensional (2D) materials possessing ferroelectric/ferromagnetic orders and especially low-magnetic-field controlled magnetoelectricity have great promise in spintronics and multistate data storage. However, ferroelectric and magnetoelectric (ME) dipoles in the atom-thick 2D materials are difficult to be realized due to structural inversion symmetry, thermal actuation, and depolarized field. To overcome these difficulties, the monolayer structure must possess an in-plane inversion asymmetry in order to provide out-of-plane ferroelectric polarization. Herein, crystal chemistry is adopted to engineer specific atomic displacement in monolayer ReS2 to change the crystal symmetry to induce out-of-plane ferroelectric polarization at room temperature. The cationic Re vacancy in the atom-displaced ReS2 monolayer causes spin polarization of two immediate neighbor sulfur atoms to generate magnetic ordering, and the ferroelectric distortion near the Re vacancy locally tunes the ferromagnetic order thereby triggering low-magnetic-field controlled ME polarization at about 28 K. As a result, 2D ME coupling multiferroics is achieved. Our results not only reveal a design methodology to attain coexistence of ferroelectric and ferromagnetic orders in 2D materials but also provide insights into magnetoelectricity in 2D materials.

Abstract
The prediction of magnetoelectric (ME) coupling in nano-scaled multiferroic composites is significant for nano-devices. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear multi-field coupling model for ME effect in layered multiferroic nanocomposites based on the surface stress model, strain gradient theory and nonlinear magneto-elastic-thermal coupling constitutive relation. With this novel model, the influence of external fields on strain gradient and flexoelectricity is discussed for the first time. Meanwhile, a comprehensive investigation on the influence of size-dependent parameters and multi-field conditions on ME performance is made. The numerical results show that ME coupling is remarkably size-dependent as the thickness of the composites reduces to nanoscale. Especially, the ME coefficient is enhanced by either surface effect or flexoelectricity. The strain gradient in composites at the nano-scale is significant and influenced by the external stimuli at different levels via the change in materials’ properties. More importantly, due to the nonlinear multi-field coupling behavior of ferromagnetic materials, appropriate compressive stress and temperature may improve the value of ME coefficient and reduce the required magnetic field. This paper provides a theoretical basis to analyze and evaluate multi-field coupling characteristics of nanostructure-based ME devices.

Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate computationally the existence of magnetoelectric multipoles, arising from the second-order term in the multipole expansion of a magnetization density in a magnetic field, in non-centrosymmetric magnetic metals. While magnetoelectric multipoles have long been discussed in the context of the magnetoelectric effect in non-centrosymmetric magnetic insulators, they have not previously been identified in metallic systems, in which the mobile carriers screen any electrical polarization. Using first-principles density functional calculations, we explore three specific systems: first, a conventional centrosymmetric magnetic metal, Fe, in which we break inversion symmetry by introducing a surface, which both generates magnetoelectric monopoles and allows a perpendicular magnetoelectric response. Next, the hypothetical cation-ordered perovskite, SrCaRu2O6, in which we study the interplay between the magnitude of the polar symmetry breaking and that of the magnetic dipoles and multipoles, finding that both scale proportionally to the structural distortion. Finally, we identify a hidden antiferromultipolar order in the non-centrosymmetric, antiferromagnetic metal Ca3Ru2O7, and show that, while its competing magnetic phases have similar magnetic dipolar structures, their magnetoelectric multipolar structures are distinctly different, reflecting the strong differences in transport properties.This article is part of the theme issue 'Celebrating 125 years of Oliver Heaviside's 'Electromagnetic Theory''.

Abstract
The limited operating temperature is the main obstacle for the practical applications of magnetic refrigeration. In this work, the voltage control of magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is investigated in a La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO)/CeO2/Pt device. Different from the conventional method of volatile manipulating MCE by large-voltage-induced strain, nonvolatile manipulation of magnetocaloric operating temperature with good stability is realized in the LSMO film by applying low voltages of less than 2.3 V. The experimental results demonstrate that the magnetic entropy change peak temperature for the LSMO film can be extended from 302 to 312 K by voltage. This nonvolatile effect can be well-understood with the resistive switching mechanism and has potential in promoting microscale refrigeration technology.

Abstract
A novel gradient-type magnetoelectric (ME) current sensor operating in magnetic field gradient (MFG) detection and conversion mode is developed based on a pair of ME composites that have a back-to-back capacitor configuration under a baseline separation and a magnetic biasing in an electrically-shielded and mechanically-enclosed housing. The physics behind the current sensing process is the product effect of the current-induced MFG effect associated with vortex magnetic fields of current-carrying cables (i.e., MFG detection) and the MFG-induced ME effect in the ME composite pair (i.e., MFG conversion). The sensor output voltage is directly obtained from the gradient ME voltage of the ME composite pair and is calibrated against cable current to give the current sensitivity. The current sensing performance of the sensor is evaluated, both theoretically and experimentally, under multisource noises of electric fields, magnetic fields, vibrations, and thermals. The sensor combines the merits of small nonlinearity in the current-induced MFG effect with those of high sensitivity and high common-mode noise rejection rate in the MFG-induced ME effect to achieve a high current sensitivity of 0.65–12.55 mV/A in the frequency range of 10 Hz–170 kHz, a small input-output nonlinearity of <500 ppm, a small thermal drift of <0.2%/℃ in the current range of 0–20 A, and a high common-mode noise rejection rate of 17–28 dB from multisource noises.

Abstract
Magnetoelectric layers with a strong coupling between ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism offer attractive opportunities for the design of new device architectures such as dual-channel memory and multiresponsive sensors and actuators. However, materials in which a magnetic field can switch an electric polarization are extremely rare, work most often only at very low temperatures, and/or comprise complex materials difficult to integrate. Here, we show that magnetostriction and flexoelectricity can be harnessed to strongly couple electric polarization and magnetism in a regularly nanopatterned magnetic metal/ferroelectric polymer layer, to the point that full reversal of the electric polarization can occur at room temperature by the sole application of a magnetic field. Experiments supported by finite element simulations demonstrate that magnetostriction produces large strain gradients at the base of the ferroelectric nanopillars in the magnetoelectric hybrid layer, translating by flexoelectricity into equivalent electric fields larger than the coercive field of the ferroelectric polymer. Our study shows that flexoelectricity can be advantageously used to create a very strong magnetoelectric coupling in a nanopatterned hybrid layer.

Abstract
The ever-growing technological demand for more advanced microelectronic and spintronic devices keeps catalyzing the idea of controlling magnetism with an electric field. Although voltage-driven on/off switching of magnetization is already established in some magnetoelectric (ME) systems, often the coupling between magnetic and electric order parameters lacks an adequate reversibility, energy efficiency, working temperature, or switching speed. Here, the ME performance of a manganite supercapacitor composed of a ferromagnetic, spin-polarized ultrathin film of La0.74 Sr0.26 MnO3 (LSMO) electrically charged with an ionic liquid electrolyte is investigated. Fully reversible, rapid, on/off switching of ferromagnetism in LSMO is demonstrated in combination with a shift in Curie temperature of up to 26 K and a giant ME coupling coefficient of ≈226 Oe V-1 . The application of voltages of only ≈2 V results in ultralow energy consumptions of about 90 µJ cm-2 . This work provides a step forward toward low-power, high-endurance electrical switching of magnetism for the development of high-performance ME spintronics.

Abstract
Rapid advances in the semiconductor industry, driven largely by device scaling, are now approaching fundamental physical limits and face severe power, performance, and cost constraints. Multifunctional materials and devices may lead to a paradigm shift toward new, intelligent, and efficient computing systems, and are being extensively studied. Herein examines how, by controlling the internal ion distribution in a solid-state film, a material's chemical composition and physical properties can be reversibly reconfigured using an applied electric field, at room temperature and after device fabrication. Reconfigurability is observed in a wide range of materials, including commonly used dielectric films, and has led to the development of new device concepts such as resistive random-access memory. Physical reconfigurability further allows memory and logic operations to be merged in the same device for efficient in-memory computing and neuromorphic computing systems. By directly changing the chemical composition of the material, coupled electrical, optical, and magnetic effects can also be obtained. A survey of recent fundamental material and device studies that reveal the dynamic ionic processes is included, along with discussions on systematic modeling efforts, device and material challenges, and future research directions.
