Introduction:
Investigations into the magnetoelectric (ME) coupling effect, which enables interactions between magnetic and electric orderings in single-phase or composite materials, have made enormous progress and provided diverse routes to new functional device architectures, including ME random access memories (MERAM), sensors, energy harvesters, photovoltaics, and low frequency mechanical antennas. In recent years, researchers all over the globe are focusing fundamental studies on material modifications, interface optimizations and fabrication improvements for higher coupling capability with respect to traditional magnetoelectric materials. On the other hand, the reliability, the longevity and the competitivity of widely studied ME devices are more concerned and examined. Besides, new coupling methods and application scenarios, like optical ME effect, magnetoelectric metamaterials, multiferroic fluids, wearable systems and advanced biotechnologies are emerging during the past years. In order to promote academic exchanges, Journal of Advanced Dielectrics (JAD) plans to launch a special issue of "Magnetoelectric Materials and Devices" on Volume 15 Issue 5 in 2025. High-level research papers and reviews are now globally solicited.
The scope of the special issue includes (but not limited to):
- Magnetoelectric composites: multi-field coupling theory, material design, structure simulation, fabrication technique, characterization method, etc.
- Magnetoelectric devices: ME random access memories, ME magnetic sensors, MME energy harvesters, ME photovoltaics, ME biotechnologies, ME mechanical antennas, etc.
- iii. Magnetoelectric applications: current sensing, object detecting and positioning, self-powered IoT nodes, low-frequency communication, biotechnology and electronics, in-memory sensing and computing, etc.
