Research Interests
- Smart Materials
are, usually, ferromagnetic, ferroelectric and ferroelastic (Shape Memory) materials that can be integrated into electronic circuits to feed back an external mechanical stimulus thereby rendering the material "smart." We are interested in the science of the materials that are suitable for this purpose. - Multiferroics
constitute a subclass of smart materials, i.e., those that are simultaneously ferromagnetic and ferroelectric and so forth.
TopCurrent Research
Research on Magnetoelectric Composites (MECs) endeavors to synthesize and characterize these relatively new kinds of composites that are of interest as micro- and nano-electronic components and potential high density memories. Current efforts focus on self-organized MECs in which the ferromagnetic and ferroelectric components are arranged in a nano-periodic fashion without prior patterning. First results are published in Spinodal synthesis of a PZT/NFO magnetoelectric, Appl. Phys. Letters 91, 083501 (2007).
Magneto-mechanical properties, technically called magnetostriction, of ferromagnetic solids are of interest in MECs (see above) but also in sonic gear. It turns out that the magnetostriction of certain alloys can he enhanced by manipulating the nanostructure of the material. We are concentrating on CoFe alloys and have submitted the manuscript Magnetostriction in Co-rich bcc CoFe solid solutions to Scripta Materialia.
