  • Magnetoelectric control of superparamagnetism
    Patent number: 9355764
    Abstract: A magnetoelectric composite device having a free (i.e. switchable) layer of ferromagnetic nanocrystals mechanically coupled a ferroelectric single crystal substrate is presented, wherein application of an electrical field on the composite switches the magnetic state of the switchable layer from a superparamagnetic state having no overall net magnetization to a substantially single-domain ferromagnetic state.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 14, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 31, 2016
    Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
    Inventors: Sarah H. Tolbert, Gregory P. Carman, Scott Keller, Laura Schelhas, Hyungsuk Kim, Joshua Hockel
