Modeling, design, and development of nanosclae magnetoelectric heterostructures. M-H curves measured using magneto optical Kerr effect (MOKE). Strain changes magnetic behavior.
Brief Description:
The NSF-TANMS research center is developing nanoscale magnetoelectric devices with applications to memory, small antennas, and nanomotors. C.S. Lynch is the modeling thrust director and develops devices.
Approach:
Develop and use computational design tools to design magnetoelectric heterostructures.
