There is a need for an efficient approach to control magnetism at small scales, up to and including the nanoscale. One approach is to convert electrical to magnetic energy using magnetoelectric materials. An important focus area is strain-mediated magnetoelectric materials composed of piezoelectric and magnetoelastic materials that are mechanically coupled, which is the most mature magnetoelectric approach for near-term applications. Currently, there are significant magnetoelectric research opportunities in both materials discovery and theoretical modeling efforts to advance magnetic control via strain-mediation.

The November, 2018 issue of MRS Bulletin is designed to encourage and motivate continued research on magnetoelectrics due to their potential impact on society through the control of magnetism at the micro- and nanoscale.

This webinar will expand on the MRS Bulletin issue, and an interactive Q&A will be held with each of the speakers following their talks.
