Focus Group F1 "Magnetic Layers"
The performance of magnetic layers is a key cross-project topic. Here, material-related issues, such as deposition conditions and post deposition treatment, domain engineering for reduction of magnetic losses, stress control, alternative magnetostrictive materials as well as exchange coupling for self-biased magnetostrictive materials are discussed. The integration of advanced magnetostrictive multilayers into the sensor specific fabrication is a second focal point of the group.
The focus group is coordinated by Jeffrey McCord. The following projects participate in the focus group:
- A1 (Magnetostrictive Multilayers for Magnetoelectric Sensors)
- A4 (ΔE-Effect Sensors)
- A6 (Microstructure and Structural Change of Magnetoelectric and Piezotronic Sensors)
- A7 (Electrically Modulated Magnetoelectric Sensors)
- A9 (Surface Acoustic Wave Magnetic Field Sensors)
- A10 (Magnetic Noise of Magnetoelectric Sensors)
- Z1 (MEMS Magnetoelectric Sensor Fabrication)
