Resonant magnetoelectric sensors (A03)

• Subject Area: Synthesis and Properties of Functional Materials
• Term: from 2016 to 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 286471992

The aim of this project is to improve the performance of resonant magnetoelectric sensors. Investigations will include concepts related to bending mode resonant sensors, coupled resonators, longitudinal mode resonators, and frequency tunable resonators. Special approaches are related to measures to increase the quality factor using quartz substrates, polysilicon substrates or lateral bulk mode resonators, and to reduce acoustic cross-sensitivity using high frequency resonances or anti-symmetric vibrational modes. Frequency tuning will be investigated by two alternative approaches.
