High power consumption of nonvolatile memory is a major
challenge,
as it reduces the memory efficiency of information storage devices.
The magnetoelectric (ME) coupling in multiferroic nanocomposites,
which can be utilized in magnetoelectric random access memory, is
an effective approach to reduce power consumption in information storage.
Here, a type of ME nanocomposite embedded with 0.5 wt % Fe3O4 is presented, exhibiting higher ME voltage coefficients
for piezoelectric thin films. Specifically, the ME voltage coefficient
of the P(VDF-TrFE)/Fe3O4 composite developed
in this study is 8.97 mV/(cm·Oe), which is 17.5% higher compared
to that of the pure P(VDF-TrFE) at a H
dc of 1000 Oe. Meanwhile, the enhanced ME effect of smart nanocomposites
is characterized by the increase of diffraction peak intensity at
a microscopic level. The nanocomposite films exhibit high ME voltage
coefficients and information storage performance, providing a great
potential for creating next-generation memory devices in the realm
of artificial intelligence and wearable devices.
Smart sensors with excellent performance are accelerating the development of biomedicine and the Internet of Energy. Nanodielectrics exhibit unique electrical and mechanical properties. As the predominant materials in optical magnetic field sensor (MFS), they can not only exert the anti‐interference of optical sensing, but improve the measuring characteristics of optical sensors. For instance, the optical fibre quantum probe for the magnetic field can obtain a higher sensitivity of 0.57 nT/Hz1/2, while the measurement range of the sensor that uses Co‐doped ZnO nanorods as cladding is 17–180 mT. Here, these exciting recent achievements in the realm of optical sensing methods for magnetic field detection are reviewed, with a focus on nanodielectrics, which provide an emerging opportunity to achieve higher sensitivity and a wider measurement range of MFS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
