Abstract In a noncentrosymmetric system, an intrinsic electric polarization is allowed and may lead to unusual nonreciprocal charge transport phenomena. As a result, a current-dependent resistance, arising from the magnetoelectric anisotropy term of k · E × B, appears and acts as a current rectifier with the amount of rectification being linearly proportional to the magnitude of both current and applied magnetic field. In this work, a different type of nonreciprocal transport effect was demonstrated in a graphene-based device, which requires no external magnetic field. Owing to the unique pseudospin (valley) degree of freedom in chiral fermions with trigonal warping, a large nonreciprocal transport effect was uncovered in a gapped bilayer graphene, where electric-field tunabilities of the band gap and valley polarization play an important role. The exact cancellation of nonreciprocal effect between two different valleys is effectively removed by breaking the inversion symmetry via electric gatings. The magnitude of the current rectification appears to be at a maximum when the Fermi surface undergoes a Lifshitz transition near the band edges, which is proportional to the current and the displacement field strength. The full electric-field tuning of the nonreciprocal transport effect without a magnetic field opens up a new direction for valleytronics in two-dimensional based devices.

Abstract All the magnetoelectric properties of scheelite-type DyCrO4 are characterized by temperature- and field-dependent magnetization, specific heat, permittivity, electric polarization, and neutron diffraction measurements. Upon application of a magnetic field within ±3 T, the nonpolar collinear antiferromagnetic structure leads to a large linear magnetoelectric effect with a considerable coupling coefficient. An applied electric field can induce the converse linear magnetoelectric effect, realizing magnetic field control of ferroelectricity and electric field control of magnetism. Furthermore, a higher magnetic field (>3 T) can cause a metamagnetic transition from the initially collinear antiferromagnetic structure to a canted structure, generating a large ferromagnetic magnetization up to 7.0 μB f.u.−1. Moreover, the new spin structure can break the space inversion symmetry, yielding ferroelectric polarization, which leads to coupling of ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity with a large ferromagnetic component.

The electric field induced within four layered models by a repetitive current wave form in a circular loop transmitter is presented along with the resulting magnetic fields observed on the surface. The behavior of the induced electric field as a function of time explains the observed sign reversal of the vertical magnetic field on the surface. In addition, the differences between magnetic field responses for different models are explained by the behavior of the induced electric fields. The pattern of the induced electric field is shown to be that of a single “smoke ring,” as described by Nabighian (1979), which is distorted by layering but which remains a single ring system rather than forming separate smoke rings in each layer.

Abstract Violation of time reversal and spatial inversion symmetries has profound consequences for elementary particles and cosmology. Spontaneous breaking of these symmetries at phase transitions gives rise to unconventional physical phenomena in condensed matter systems, such as ferroelectricity induced by magnetic spirals, electromagnons, non-reciprocal propagation of light and spin waves, and the linear magnetoelectric (ME) effect—the electric polarization proportional to the applied magnetic field and the magnetization induced by the electric field. Here, we report the experimental study of the holmium-doped langasite, HoxLa3−xGa5SiO14, showing a puzzling combination of linear and highly non-linear ME responses in the disordered paramagnetic state: its electric polarization grows linearly with the magnetic field but oscillates many times upon rotation of the magnetic field vector. We propose a simple phenomenological Hamiltonian describing this unusual behavior and derive it microscopically using the coupling of magnetic multipoles of the rare-earth ions to the electric field.

A wide-ranging investigation is rendered possible by a judicious combination of products of electric field components and electric polarization components for two distinct modes of propagation of electromagnetic waves in an anisotropic, ionized, stratified medium. The differential equations, governing oblique propagation in these two distinct modes in such a medium, are combined to yield various integral identities when integrated throughout the medium. These lead to a large number of relations between the reflexion and transmission coefficients (for incidence from below and from above) and the fields throughout the medium, each containing as a factor just one of the components of the external magnetic field pervading the medium.

Study of multiferroics, materials simultaneously having more than one primary ferroic order parameter, is a hot topic of material sciences. The most extensively studied class of these compounds is the family of magnetoelectric multiferroics, where ferroelectricity can be induced by various types of magnetic orderings via the relativistic spin-orbit interaction. As a consequence of the cross coupling between spins and electric polarization, the spectacular control of the ferroelectric polarization by external magnetic field and the manipulation of the magnetic order via electric field can often be realized in these systems. Depending on the symmetry and microscopic mechanism of the multiferroicity the coupling energy between magnetic and electric ordering parameters can significantly vary. Classical neutron diffraction often fails in the precise determining of the complex magnetic structure in the multiferroics due to the presence of the statistically distributed domains in the macroscopic sample. Using spherical neutron polarimetry (SNP), known also as 3D polarization analysis, it is possible not only to precisely determine the complex magnetic structure, but also to investigate in-situ its evolution with external parameters and to control the magnetic domains distribution under the influence of the external electric or/and magnetic field. Here we will present some SNP results on few different multiferroic materials. In some of them, e.g. square lattice 2D antiferromagnet Ba2CoGe2O7, even strong electric field does not change the magnetic order. However rater week magnetic field is sufficient to create a mono-domain structure and to rotate spins in the plane. In other e.g. incommensurate (spiral) magnetic structure of the TbMnO3, solely electric field is sufficient to fully control the chirality of the magnetic structure. In the case of Cr2O3 both electric and magnetic fields should be applied in parallel in order to switch between the different antiferromagnetic domains.

Domain walls in iron garnet films demonstrate magnetoelectric properties that manifest themselves as a displacement induced by inhomogeneous electric field. In this paper the results of the study of electric field induced domain wall dynamics and its dependence on external magnetic field are presented. The measured velocity of the electrically induced domain wall motion increased by an order with the magnetic field applied perpendicular to the domain wall plane. The numerical simulation shows that the observed behaviour of the domain wall can be explained by magnetic field induced modification of its internal micromagnetic structure and enhancement of the electric polarization associated with the wall.

WHO (World Health Organization) concludes that not much effect is caused by electric field up to 20 kV / m in humans. WHO standard also mentions that humans will not be affected by the magnetic field under  100 micro tesla and that the electric field will affect the human body with a maximum standard of 5,000 volts per meter. In this study did not discuss about the effect of high voltage radiation SUTT (High Voltage Air Channel) with human health. The research will focus on energy utilization of SUTT radiation. The combination of electric field and magnetic field on SUTT (70-150KV) can generate electromagnetic (EM) and radiation waves, which are expected to be converted to turn on street lights around the location of high voltage areas or into other forms. The design of this prototype works like an antenna in general that captures electromagnetic signals and converts them into AC waves. With a capacitor that can store the potential energy of AC and Schottky diode waves created specifically for low frequency waves, make the current into one direction (DC). From the research results obtained the current generated from the radiation is very small even though the voltage is big enough.Keywords : Radiance Energy, Joule Thief, and  LED Module.
