Nonlinear magnetoelectric effects in Al-substituted strontium hexaferrite

Abstract This report is on the observation and theory of electric field E induced non-linear magnetoelectric (NLME) effects in single crystal platelets of ferrimagnetic M-type strontium aluminum hexagonal ferrite. Using microwave measurement techniques, it was found that a DC electric field along th...
