Abstract

Read online

Voltage tunable inductors (VTIs) with high working frequency and tunability are desired for new design of energy efficient electronics. Here the authors demonstrate magnetoelectric VTIs operating up to 10 MHz with tunability over 750% via strain mediated magnetoelectric effect and magnetocrystalline anisotropy cancellation strategy.
