Exchange biased delta-E effect enables the detection of low frequency pT magnetic fields with simultaneous localization

Abstract Delta-E effect sensors are based on magnetoelectric resonators that detune in a magnetic field due to the delta-E effect of the magnetostrictive material. In recent years, such sensors have shown the potential to detect small amplitude and low-frequency magnetic fields. Yet, they all requir...
