A nonlinear microwave phase shifter based on ferrite-ferroelectric composite material has been studied for the first time. The ferrite-ferroelectric composite is fabricated in the form of bilayer consisted of yttrium iron garnet and barium strontium titanate. A principle of operation of the device is based on the linear and nonlinear control of the phase shift of the hybrid spinelectromagnetic ...

Introduction: At high magnetic fields radiation losses, wavelength effects, self-resonance and decreased Q of typical components all contribute to increased losses in conventional RF coil designs. High permittivity ceramic dielectric resonators create strong uniform magnetic fields in a compact structure at high frequencies, are extensively used in radiocommunications applications, and can pote...

We demonstrate control of the surface plasmon polariton wavevector in an active metal-dielectric plasmonic interferometer by utilizing electrooptic barium titanate as the dielectric layer. Arrays of subwavelength interferometers were fabricated from pairs of parallel slits milled in silver on barium titanate thin films. Plasmon-mediated transmission of incident light through the subwavelength s...

This paper demonstrates an electric-field tuning of the ferromagnetic resonance FMR responses at millimeter wave frequencies for a monolithic magneto-electric heterostructure. The layered stack is comprised of c-axis oriented and low loss barium hexaferrite BaM and 111 oriented ferroelectric barium strontium titanate BSTO layers along with embedded platinum electrode layers, all fabricated by p...

Hydrothermal and commercial barium titanate powders were examined for undesirable impurity phases. Compositional differences in the powder were evaluated using x-ray diffraction ( XRD ), x-ray fluorescence ( XRF ), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A brium-rich impurity phase, virtually undetectable by XRD, was detected via XPS. Barium impurity phase peaks were detected at binding ene...

Ferroelectric samples Sr1?xBaxTiO3 (BST), where x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1, were prepared using the tartrate precursor method annealed at 1200 °C for 2 h. X-ray diffraction, “XRD”, pattern analysis verified structure phase. The crystallite size of SrTiO3 phase was calculated to be 83.6 nm, TiO2 it 72.25 nm. TEM images showed that crystallites agglomerated, due their nanosize nature. AC res...
