Abstract

Strong magnetoelectric (ME) coupling realized in magnetic/ferroelectric multiferroic heterostructures provides great potential for different integrated multiferroic devices for sensing, power, RF, and µ-wave electronics. Here, we present the most recent progress on new integrated multiferroic devices including novel integrated magnetic tunable inductors with a wide operation frequency range; integrated nonreciprocal bandpass filter with dual H- and E-field tunability based on magnetostatics surface waves; dual H- and E-field tunable RF bandpass filters with nanomechanical ME resonators; RF nanomechanical ME resonators with pico-Tesla DC magnetic fields sensitivity; a new antenna miniaturization mechanism, acoustically actuated nanomechanical ME antennas, which successfully miniaturize the magnitude in 1–2 orders with the advantages of the high magnetic field sensitivity, highest antenna gain within all nanoscale antennas at the similar frequency, and ground plane immunity on the metallic surface and the human body.
