TL;DR: In this article, a universal, on-chip quantum transducer based on surface acoustic waves in piezoactive materials is proposed, which can coherently link a broad array of qubits including quantum dots, trapped ions, nitrogen-vacancy centers, or superconducting qubits.
Abstract: We propose a universal, on-chip quantum transducer based on surface acoustic waves in piezoactive materials. Because of the intrinsic piezoelectric (and/or magnetostrictive) properties of the material, our approach provides a universal platform capable of coherently linking a broad array of qubits, including quantum dots, trapped ions, nitrogen-vacancy centers, or superconducting qubits. The quantized modes of surface acoustic waves lie in the gigahertz range and can be strongly confined close to the surface in phononic cavities and guided in acoustic waveguides. We show that this type of surface acoustic excitation can be utilized efficiently as a quantum bus, serving as an on-chip, mechanical cavity-QED equivalent of microwave photons and enabling long-range coupling of a wide range of qubits.

TL;DR: In this article, an exact dispersion relation of interfacial shear waves propagating along the imperfectly bonded interface of a magnetoelectric composite consisting of Piezoelectrics (PE) and Piezomagnetic (PM) phases is obtained.
Abstract: Shear waves propagating along the imperfectly bonded interface of a magnetoelectric composite consisting of Piezoelectric (PE) and Piezomagnetic (PM) phases are considered. An exact dispersion relation is obtained. It is found that the interfacial imperfection strongly affects the velocity of interfacial shear waves. The existence condition of the interfacial shear waves is derived. In particular, for certain combined magnetoelectric composites, interfacial shear waves do no exist for perfect interface and exist only for imperfect interface. Moreover, the corresponding waves are dispersive, and the range of the phase velocity is derived, lying between the smaller of the Bleustein-Gulyaev waves of two PE and PM materials and the interfacial waves for the perfect bonding. These findings are useful for PE/PM composites in the microwave technology.

TL;DR: In this article, the reflection and transmission of plane waves at an imperfect interface between piezoelectric (PE) and piezomagnetic (PM) media were analyzed.
Abstract: The paper analyzes the reflection and transmission of plane waves at an imperfect interface between piezoelectric (PE) and piezomagnetic (PM) media. The materials are assumed to be transversely isotropic. The linear spring model is used to describe the imperfection of bonding behavior at the interface. According to this model, the properties of the interface can be characterized by the normal and tangential interfacial stiffnesses. Numerial examples are performed for BaTiO3/CoFe2O4 material combination. Four cases, a perfect, slip, normal weak bonding and unbonding interfaces for the coupled quasi-pressure (QP) wave incidence from BaTiO3 medium are compared in detail. Numerical results of the reflection and transmission coefficients (RTCs) varying with incident angle for different interfacial stiffnesses are presented. Results show that the transmitted QP/reflected QSV waves are the strongest in the perfect/unbonded cases, respectively. The scattered waves in the slip and normal weak bonding cases are between those of the perfect and unbonded cases generally. Critial angles have noticeable effect on the RTCs and energy coefficients for the coupled scattered waves of the perfect and slip cases but have a little/no effect on those of the normal weak bonding/unbonded cases. It is found that the sum of the energy carried by the transmitted/reflected QP and QSV waves is less than unit for the imperfect bonding between BaTiO3/CoFe2O4 solids. These results may provide some useful reference datum for the imperfection measurment at the PE and PM interface.

TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of shear horizontal waves in laminated piezomagnetic/piezoelectric plates was investigated using the ordinary differential equation and stiffness matrix methods.
Abstract: The propagation of shear horizontal waves in laminated piezomagnetic/piezoelectric plates was investigated using the ordinary differential equation and stiffness matrix methods. Commonly used materials, namely barium titanate as piezoelectric ‘B’ and cobalt ferrite as piezomagnetic ‘F’, were retained for illustration. The dispersion curves of the first five modes were shown for different sequences F/F, B/B, and F/B. The effects of thickness ratio on phase and group velocities as well as the influence on the magneto-electromechanical coupling factor of the first mode were investigated. Large magneto-electromechanical coupling factors could be achieved by an appropriate adjustment of the thickness ratio. The present investigation is of practical interest for developing new layered composites made of smart piezoelectric and piezomagnetic devices for engineering applications.

Abstract: Recent research activities on the linear magnetoelectric (ME) effect?induction of magnetization by an electric field or of polarization by a magnetic field?are reviewed. Beginning with a brief summary of the history of the ME effect since its prediction in 1894, the paper focuses on the present revival of the effect. Two major sources for 'large' ME effects are identified. (i) In composite materials the ME effect is generated as a product property of a magnetostrictive and a piezoelectric compound. A linear ME polarization is induced by a weak ac magnetic field oscillating in the presence of a strong dc bias field. The ME effect is large if the ME coefficient coupling the magnetic and electric fields is large. Experiments on sintered granular composites and on laminated layers of the constituents as well as theories on the interaction between the constituents are described. In the vicinity of electromechanical resonances a ME voltage coefficient of up to 90?V?cm?1?Oe?1 is achieved, which exceeds the ME response of single-phase compounds by 3?5 orders of magnitude. Microwave devices, sensors, transducers and heterogeneous read/write devices are among the suggested technical implementations of the composite ME effect. (ii) In multiferroics the internal magnetic and/or electric fields are enhanced by the presence of multiple long-range ordering. The ME effect is strong enough to trigger magnetic or electrical phase transitions. ME effects in multiferroics are thus 'large' if the corresponding contribution to the free energy is large. Clamped ME switching of electrical and magnetic domains, ferroelectric reorientation induced by applied magnetic fields and induction of ferromagnetic ordering in applied electric fields were observed. Mechanisms favouring multiferroicity are summarized, and multiferroics in reduced dimensions are discussed. In addition to composites and multiferroics, novel and exotic manifestations of ME behaviour are investigated. This includes (i) optical second harmonic generation as a tool to study magnetic, electrical and ME properties in one setup and with access to domain structures; (ii) ME effects in colossal magnetoresistive manganites, superconductors and phosphates of the LiMPO4 type; (iii) the concept of the toroidal moment as manifestation of a ME dipole moment; (iv) pronounced ME effects in photonic crystals with a possibility of electromagnetic unidirectionality. The review concludes with a summary and an outlook to the future development of magnetoelectrics research.

TL;DR: A generalized theoretical framework based on a Green's function method and perturbation theory is proposed to treat the coupled magnetoelectric behavior in the composites, and the theoretical estimates are shown to be in agreement with available experimental results.
Abstract: The magnetoelectric effect in composites of piezoelectric and piezomagnetic phases is investigated theoretically. The magnetoelectric effect is totally absent in these two constituent phases, and so it is a new property of the composites. A generalized theoretical framework based on a Green's function method and perturbation theory is proposed to treat the coupled magnetoelectric behavior in the composites. Explicit relations for determining the effective magnetoelectric effect in the composites are derived, and the different approximate expressions for the magnetoelectric coefficient of the fibrous composites with 1-3 or 3-1 connectivity of phases are given. To illustrate the technique, numerical calculations of the magnetoelectric coefficients of the BaTiO3-CoFe2O4 composites for various phase compositions and particle shapes are performed. The theoretical estimates are shown to be in agreement with available experimental results, and also show the interesting magnetoelectric behavior of the composites.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained the highest magnetoelectric voltage coefficient of 4.68 V/cmOe at room temperature for the sample with high g33 PZT of 0.5 mm in thickness.
Abstract: Magnetoelectric laminate composites of piezoelectric-magnetostrictive materials were investigated. The composites were prepared by stacking and bonding Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 (PZT) and Terfenol-D disks. Experimental results indicated that the magnetoelectric voltage coefficient, dE/dH, increased with decreasing thickness and increasing piezoelectric voltage constant (g31) of the PZT layer. We obtained the highest magnetoelectric voltage coefficient of 4.68 V/cmOe at room temperature for the sample with high g33 PZT of 0.5 mm in thickness. This value is about 36 times higher than the best reported value.

TL;DR: In this paper, exact solutions for three-dimensional, anisotropic, linearly magneto-electroelastic, simply-supported, and multilayered rectangular plates under static loadings are derived.
Abstract: Exact solutions are derived for three-dimensional, anisotropic, linearly magneto-electroelastic, simply-supported, and multilayered rectangular plates under static loadings. While the homogeneous solutions are obtained in terms of a new and simple formalism that resemble the Stroh formalism, solutions for multilayered plates are expressed in terms of the propagator matrix. The present solutions include all the previous solutions, such as piezoelectric, piezomagnetic, purely elastic solutions, as special cases, and can therefore serve as benchmarks to check various thick plate theories and numerical methods used for the modeling of layered composite structures. Typical numerical examples are presented and discussed for layered piezoelectric/piezomagnetic plates under surface and internal loads.
