1-D MultiferroicsThrust Leader: Kang L. Wang
Principal Investigators: N. Kioussis, S. Salahuddin, G. Carman, J. Chang, C. Lynch
- GOAL: Thrust 1 focuses on understanding 1-D elements
necessary for each of the three testbeds. Here the goal is to optimize
the conversion of electrical energy into magnetic energy through the
appropriate selection of materials, shapes, and magnetic biasing for a
single nanoscale element (1-D).
Thrust Leader: Rashaunda Henderson
Principal Investigators: R. Candler, G. Carman, J. Chang, C. Lynch, N. Sun, S. Tolbert & Y. Wang
- GOAL: Thrust 2 focuses on additional levels of
dimensionality to understand multiferroic response as compared to Thrust
1. Thrust 2 research effort includes an emphasis on fundamental topics
such as in-plane nanoscale interaction effects and magnetoelastic
dynamic response.
Thrust Leader: Robert N. Candler
Principal Investigators: J. Bokor, R. Candler, G. Carman, J. Chang, D. Di Carlo, D. Schlom, S. Tolbert, & C. Lynch
- GOAL: Thrust 3 builds upon the fundamental studies
conducted in both Thrusts 1 and 2. Here the goal is to achieve
deterministic magnetic domain control and electro-magneto-mechanical
coupling with the external environment necessary for testbed
implementation.
Multiscale Material Modeling
Thrust Leader: Christopher S. Lynch
Principal Investigators: G. Carman, A. Selpulveda, N. Kioussis, I. Belborodov, Y. Wang
- GOAL: Thrust 4 focuses on understanding multiferroic
materials response using multi-physics based models across different
length and time scales with continuum and ab initio approaches. Here
the goal is to support testbed development and the three thrust areas
described above.
Materials (Materials Fabrication)
Thrust Leader: Sarah Tolbert
Principal Investigators: J. Chang, D. Schlom, N. Sun, G. Carman
- GOAL: Thrust 5 works closely with Thrust 4 and has a
focus on developing new multiferroic material concepts including but not
limited to novel composite designs and single phase materials. Here
the goal is to find superior materials and methods necessary for both
testbed development and thrust areas described above.
