Magnetostrictive multilayers for magnetoelectric sensors (A01)

• Subject Area: Synthesis and Properties of Functional Materials
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 286471992

The project focuses on individual magnetostrictive layer conceptual design, deposition and post-processing, supported by in-depth volumetric magnetic characterization and lateral and time-resolved magnetic imaging. The overall goal of the project is to implement new layer systems with higher signal sensitivity while eliminating magnetic noise sources that degrade the performance of magnetoelectric sensors. A second major goal is to introduce specific layer systems for the various sensor concepts that will allow the sensors to operate without external magnetic bias fields and provide directional sensor response for vector field measurements.
