Erick J. Ball Ph.D. 4th year - Mechanical Engineering (Cornell) Industry interests: Mentorship Internship  Full-time position E-mail: [email protected] Project title: Dynamics and Control of a Multiferroic Motor

Project goal and Industry relevance: A functional multiferroic motor could revolutionize MEMS technology by providing high power density at a smaller scale than any currently practical actuator. Driving its development is the crucial understanding we have developed of micromagnetic interactions between a multiferroic stator ring and a permanent magnet capable of spinning inside it. Finite element simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics allow us to predict the coupling of piezoelectric strain into magnetization in nano-rings and rotors. The magnetic coupling between these complex geometries determines the achievable torque and power output as well as dictating the strain necessary to produce rotation. High-level MatLab simulations and experimental verification of their static behavior with PEEM imaging tie together the results into a consistent analysis of the potential capabilities and the control techniques necessary to realize them.

Abraham N. Buditama Ph.D. 6th year - Chemistry (UCLA) Industry interests: __ Mentorship __ Internship  Full-time position E-mail: [email protected] Project title: SOL-GEL TEMPLATED MESOPOROUS FRAMEWORKS FOR STRAINCOUPLED MAGNETOELECTRIC COMPOSITES

Project goal and Industry relevance: Strain-coupled magnetoelectric composite thin films commonly utilize a 2-2 heterostructure, coupling the piezoelectric and magnetostrictive materials through a flat interface. Thus, maximizing this interface should in turn enhance the magnetoelectric coupling of the composite. By controlling the nanoarchitecture of each material, we are developing a composite that has large, three-dimensional interfaces extending throughout the material. We achieve this by templating sol-gel cobalt ferrite precursors with amphiphilic diblock copolymers, creating a mesoporous, magnetostrictive framework, which is then conformally filled with piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate via atomic layer deposition. This method allows fine control over the ratio of the two materials and over the remaining porosity, allowing optimization of magnetoelectric coupling in the composite material.

Cai Chen Ph.D. 3rd year – Mechanical Engineering (UCLA) Industry interests: ! Numerical Calculation (FEA) !!Mathematical Software ! Internship E-mail: [email protected] Project title: Strain-Mediated Spin Waves

Project goal and Industry relevance: We are developing a new logic device based on strain-mediated spin waves. As we know that CMOS is now intensively used for logic devices. However, it faces both energy efficiency and current leakage issues when scaling down. Spin wave can be a good candidate while its excitation still remains a problem. In this project, we innovatively use mechanical vibration to induce periodic magnetic anisotropy. As a result of that, spin waves are excited and propagates along the spin bus. Furthermore, we solve linearized LLG equation to find out that the strongest mechanical excitation happens when the mechanical wave vector and bias field have a 45 degree angle. Then we analyze how the input frequency, bias field and geometry influence spin wave propagation. In the numerical calculation, finite element method is used to solve the nonlinear LLG. To find out the most efficient approach to excite the spin waves, optimization is used to search for the global and local minimal energy dissipation. .

Project title: DETERMINISTIC CONTROL OF NANOSCALE MAGNETOELECTRIC STRUCTURES

Project goal and Industry relevance: Manipulating magnetization at the micro- and nano-scale has potential applications for computer memory, nanoscale sensors, and spintronic devices. The use of strain-mediated approach to control magnetization on ferroelectric/ferromagnetic heterostructure is attracting increasing attention due to its promising low energy consumption. We are developing methods for deterministic control of nanoscale strain-mediated magnetoelectric structures. Finite element micromagnetic simulations were run for device design, followed up by device fabrication and experimental validation on both bulk and thin film piezoelectrics. Two methods were tested and validated, one by using patterned electrodes creating strain configurations along various directions, the other by designing magnetic elements in proper shape taking advantage of magnetic shape anisotropy.

Project goal and Industry relevance: This research is aimed at developing a fundamental understanding of impact and shockwave propagation in magnetoelastic materials. Both experimental and modeling approaches are being used to investigate the propagation of highly coupled nonlinear mechanical and magnetic (spin) waves. Practical applications of this work span many length scales and industries, with uses including, embedded wireless impact detection, mechanically driven antennas, and the acoustic generation of spin waves in next generation quasi-particle based computation architectures.

Other Relevant Information about me: I have over 7 years of experience in both applied and fundamental research. This includes a diverse breadth of knowledge, with direct hands-on experimental and modeling experience in: nonlinear coupled mechanical-magnetic wave propagation, strain driven antennas development, the mechanics of adaptive materials, human joint mechanics, and orthopedic implant development (including regulatory and market analysis). A common trend in all my work is its highly interdisciplinary nature, often spanning typically disparate braches of science. A beneficial outcome of this interdisciplinary nature is my ability to tailor the communication of highly technical concepts to audiences with little to no technical background, or to field experts, with equal effectiveness.

Kevin Fitzell Ph.D. 2nd year - Chemical Engineering (UCLA) Industry interests:  Mentorship  Internship  Full-time position E-mail: [email protected] Project title: MAGNETOELECTRIC MULTIFERROIC COMPOSITE MATERIALS FOR MEMORY APPLICATIONS

Project goal and Industry relevance: Piezoelectric materials exhibiting a strong coupling between electrical and mechanical energies can be integrated with ferromagnetic materials to enable highly energyefficient multiferroic nanocomposites. One way we realize these composites is through magnetic tunnel junctions which rely on voltagecontrolled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) to flip the state of spin junctions with exceedingly small amounts of energy. A major focus of my work deals with integrating ferroelectric materials with high dielectric constants into these spin junctions. This has been shown to substantially increase the extent of the VCMA effect. Furthermore, crystallization of this ferroelectric layer allows for the possibility of four state memory devices, where the direction of the ferroelectric polarization emerges as an additional degree of freedom. Reliable four state memory poses to change the landscape of the memory industry and offers a highly sought after route for the continuation of Moore’s Law past conventional scaling barriers. My other interests include the mathematical modeling of multiferroic cantilevers to determine the extent of substrate clamping in AC magnetometer applications, as well as the fabrication of nanoscale antennae.

Other Relevant Information about me: I am the first Student-Education Liaison Officer for TANMS and work with the Education Director to strengthen the relationship between our research center and our associated undergraduate students, high school students, high school teachers, and newly admitted graduate students. One major focus of mine has been the creation and implementation of training modules which facilitate the instruction of undergraduate students during their research internships. By supplementing reading with hands-on demonstrations of the relevant experimental methods and material properties, students are given a strong grasp of the material in a short time, allowing the majority of their effort to be spent on independent research.

Project goal and Industry relevance: The objective of my research is to carry out predictive density functional calculations to predict and understand the origin of magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) of strongly spin-orbit coupled multiferroic heterostructures for the next generation of ultra-low power, highly-scalable, and nonvolatile spin based random access memory devices. The preferred direction of magnetic ordering (i.e. magnetocrystalline anisotropy) depends on the material itself, substrate, capping elements, and also structural distortions. Our goal is to 1. Comprehend the effects of an external electric field on the MCA at a microscopic level and 2. Predict conditions to enhance MCA properties so that the direction of magnetization can be controlled efficiently by the electric field.

Auni A. Kundu Ph.D. 2nd year - Mechanical Engineering (UCLA) Industry interests:  Mentorship  Internship __ Full-time position E-mail: [email protected] Project title: MULTI-SCALE MODELING OF MULTIFERROIC MATERIALS FOR NANOSCALE DEVICE DESIGN

Project goal and Industry relevance: Multi-scale modeling plays a critical role as an engineering design tool. In recent years, designing magnetic memory devices at the nanoscale is a new topic of interest. The use of current to create these memory devices produces a lot of inefficiency in the system since current does not scale well to the nanoscale. Instead, the field of multiferroics is being explored as a way to control magnetism at the nanoscale and revolutionize nanoscale devices. With this new method, a multiferroic heterostructure is created where a ferroelectric and magnetostrictive material are coupled together to create the magnetoelectric effect at the nanoscale. When voltage is applied to the ferroelectric material, this material will experience a shape change causing the material to strain. If this material is coupled together with the magnetostrictive material, the strain from the ferroelectric material causes the magnetostrictive material to change magnetization. This method has successfully been tested to produce magnetization changes at the nanoscale without the use of current. This development has created several areas of research including the design of a multiferroic nanoscale motor and antenna. My research interests include the motor and antenna. Being able to successfully model the domain dynamics in the nanomotor is a challenging yet critical aspect in this research center. The domain switching is unpredictable and better models are required which will allow deterministic switching with minimum strain. Shape anisotropy can greatly influence switching behavior for devices that are on the order of 100 nm and I am interested in exploring these unique geometries. Once the motor has been sufficiently studied, I hope to move into research in the antenna. Since no multiferroic antenna exists, this model is a great technological break-through. However, these models require reformulating traditional electromagnetic equations and coupling with elastodynamics equations for the models to be used as effective design tools. Other Relevant Information about me: I really enjoy conducting research in various subject areas to learn new topics in science. I was involved in four different research projects as an undergraduate ranging from guided waves to magnetohydrodynamics. I also have a passion for interacting with people. I have experience of working in several team projects, working as a TA and being a mentor for high school students in the summer, I appreciate both learning and teaching science.

Dominic Labanowski Ph.D. 4th year – Electrical Engineering (UCB) Industry interests:  Mentorship  Internship  Full-time position E-mail: [email protected] Project title: ACOUSTICALLY-DRIVEN FERROMAGNETIC RESONANCE FOR ANTENNA APPLICATIONS

Project goal and Industry relevance: We are investigating applications of acoustically-driven ferromagnetic resonance in multiferroic antennas. Multiferroic materials should allow for the creation of electrically small antennas (below λ/100) with performance that is substantially better than what is possible with current technologies. By understanding the coupling between magnetism and strain near ferromagnetic resonance, we hope to improve power coupling into these antennas, contributing to improved efficiency and potential further size reductions. The ability to create antennas with sizes several orders of magnitude smaller than the current state of the art has wide applicability to a number of industries, from healthcare to aerospace. In doing this work, I have become familiar with a number of techniques, including the use of probe stations (RF and DC), vibrating sample magnetometry, RF measurement and calibration, magnetic characterization, experimental design, machining, and device fabrication, as well as the use of numerical simulation tools like COMSOL and OOMMF. Other Relevant Information about me: As an undergraduate at The Ohio State University, I started the on campus electronics club, and served as co-president of the organization for several years. Since coming to graduate school, I have acted as the vice-president of the TANMS student body for two years, and am currently the president of the organization. I am extremely interested in pursuing a career which would allow for me to be involved in technology development, ideally in a role that would allow me to exercise significant creativity and self-direction: either leading or working with small teams to solve difficult problems with significant and wide-reaching impacts. Honors and Awards: While still an undergraduate, I received the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship for my research accomplishments. Upon acceptance to graduate school, I entered with a State of California Research Fellowship which funded me through my first year. During that year, I applied for and was awarded a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship, which provides three additional years of support.

Project goal and Industry relevance: The goal of our project is to manipulate magnetic properties by applying a voltage. The exchange-coupled rare earth-transition metal alloy thin films are being used to achieve the goal. In this layered system, the manipulation of magnetic materials can make negative coercive behavior as controlled by the applied voltage, which means a magnetization switching in zero magnetic field. When the project is successfully completed, the development can be used to nano-scale magnetic memory cells with extremely low writing energy. Furthermore, my thorough understanding on general materials' fabrication and characterization acquired through this research, will definitely help my future research career in a variety of fields. Other Relevant Information about me: Prior to studying at UCLA, I worked at Samsung Electronics as a research engineer in the Semiconductor Division for three years.

Project title

Control of magnetic properties using strain-mediated electric field

Project goal and Industry relevance I investigate the physical response that occurs in FeRh near first order phase transitions between from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic orders. This phase transition is tantamount to turning magnetism on (ferromagnetic phase) and off (antiferromagnetic phase). I was able to electrically control magnetism in a composite multiferroic consisting of FeRh (ferromagnetic) mechanically coupled to PMN-PT (ferroelectric). Researchers have known about this transformation for some time but previously required thermal energy to generate the phase transformation, i.e. an approach that is also energy inefficient. I proposed using a ferroelectric substrate PMN-PT mechanically coupled to the FeRh to induce this phase transformation (energy efficient) rather than apply a heat (energy inefficient). I deposited thin FeRh films on top of a PMN-PT crystal and was able to induce the phase transformation using an electric field induced strain between these two phases, i.e. antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic. I was able to demonstrate this by measuring the change in the electrical resistivity of the FeRh films that is different in the two phases. This represents a significant advancement for the field of Multiferroics and one step closer to controlling magnetism in the small scale very efficiently.

Project title: Materials Development and Physics Modeling of NextGeneration Magnetic Random Access Memory Using Voltage-Controlled Writing

Project goal and Industry relevance: We are developing a new type of voltage-controlled magnetoelectric magnetic memory (MeRAM) device utilizing a novel physical mechanism (voltagecontrolled magnetic anisotropy) to write the memory bit. Our proposed technology consumes less power and possesses higher areal density than the most advanced magnetic memory (STT-RAM) that has been developed by major semiconductor companies, such as Intel, Micron, Qualcomm, etc. We also established a startup company based on our research, Inston Inc., and are actively seeking industrial collaborators to co-develop and/or license our technology. My research area is focused on developing new materials to enhance the voltage-control effect, which is critical for the performance of MeRAM. Combined with experiments, I also use MATLAB and micromagnetic finite element modeling to understand the physical mechanisms behind the voltage control effect.

Major Project Goal and Industry Relevance: We are developing a computational micromagnetics model for thin film heterostructure which serves as a competitive candidate for next generation memory devices. Micromagnetics modified to include PMA was used to design elements with voltage driven 180-degree magnetic switching behavior. A micromagnetics code was modified to include the surface energies that give rise to perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in ultra thin films. The code was then used to design single bit Ni elements capable of undergoing strain mediated 180-degree switching. By controlling the duration of the strain pulse, different magnetization rotation behavior was obtained, either producing a damped precession of the magnetization back to the initial direction or to the antiparallel direction. This approach enables designing heterostructures with deterministic 180 degree switching. Higher working efficiency, lower energy consumption and smaller system size were accomplished. This strain-mediated magnetization reversal method makes thin film heterostructure a competitive candidate for next generation memory devices. Minor Project Goal and Industry Relevance: I’m currently working on another minor project, which is the dynamic susceptibility simulation of multiferroic nanostructure. The use of multiferroics on radio frequency(RF) applications and specifically the dynamic effects on the material parameters requires the investigation on the frequency response of multiferroic nanostructures. Generally under an assumed harmonic and linear relationship the dynamic susceptibility is the constitutive parameter which related the local magnetic field to the processional motion of magnetization. However in high frequency excited system the susceptibility is a complex number in which reactive component of permeability relates to the loss in the material. By studying the dynamic susceptibility of multiferroic nanostructure, FMR of multiferroic nanostructure can then be determined which serves as an important optimization reference in antenna design.

Mario Lopez Masters 2nd year -Mechanical Engineering (CSUN) Industry interests:  Mentorship  Internship E-mail: [email protected] Project title: Characterization of a Multiferroic Composite Annulus

Project goal and Industry relevance: The goal of my research project is to experimentally understand the dependency of the converse magneto-electric coupling coefficient of a multiferroic composite annulus on the interface boundary condition, the applied electric field and bias magnetic field. In this project, I followed the Design of Experiment (DoE) approach to elucidate the dependency. Through the DoE approach I: 1) clearly defined the objective of the experiment; 2) selected, integrated, and automated all the necessary measurement equipment; 3) devised a comprehensive analysis methodology; and 4) currently working on publishing the results in peerreviewed journal. A system of controls can then be designed to control the magnetization of the ring. The outcomes of this project can guide the development of macroscale multiferroic sensors and actuators. The annulus can be used to test the controls for the 3-D thrust in TANMS, which focuses on the synthesis and design of nanoscale motors. One application for new electro-magnetic motors can be precise drug delivery. Programming languages: MATLAB and Visual Basic Application for Excel. Other Relevant Information about me: Punctuality, leadership, communication and organization are only a few character traits that were ingrained in me through previous experiences in the transportation and construction industries. In the time I was working in construction, I learned to wisely schedule not only my time but also my coworkers’ time to accomplish the task onsite. These daily tasks made communication essential in order to know my team and work in unison. Since I had to support myself while attending school, I learned to organize my duties and obligations, which resulted in successful completion of my undergraduate degree and transition to graduate school. My greatest accomplishment was building my current home. My father and I started construction of the home at the end of my high school career and finished during my second year of my undergraduate career. The construction was all inclusive from the design of the foundation to the framing, wiring, and painting.

George Mattson MS - Electrical Engineering (CSUN) Industry interests:  Mentorship  Internship  Full-time position E-mail: [email protected] Project title: SPIN ORBIT INDUCED SPIN TRANSFER TORQUE

Project goal and Industry relevance: We are investigating spin orbit induced spin transfer torque in heavy metal-ferromagnet interfaces, with a goal of enabling low power consumption magnetization switching in the ferromagnetic layer. At present, currentcontrolled regimes for switching the magnetization in a ferromagnet typically require a current flowing normal to the ferromagnet-oxide interface, both necessitating high current densities and potentially triggering structural abnormalities in the materials. The strong spin orbit coupling in heavy metals offers an alternative to this paradigm, enabling the magnetic switching of the ferromagnet through a comparatively low density current flowing along the heavy metal -ferromagnet interface, avoiding adverse structural effects. This approach potentially promises a way to develop low power consumption magnetic memory devices.

Paul K. Nordeen Ph.D. 5th year - Mechanical Engineering (UCLA) Industry Interests: __Mentorship __ Internship  Full-time position E-mail: [email protected] Project Title: Fabrication and Testing of an Electrically Small Magnetoelectric Antenna Project Goal and Industry Relevance: The work performed in this project seeks to revolutionize the detection methodologies used in low frequency radio communications. By using the intrinsic cross coupling found in piezoelectric and magnetoelastic materials, electromagnetic energy can be directly converted to an electrical signal output without the need for large conductive structures found in modern day communication systems. This is especially relevant at low frequencies (ELF, HF, VHF) where efficient conductive antennae can have dimensions of many meters, severely limiting the applicability of these devices on mobile platforms. In this work we fabricate and characterize several multiferroic antenna prototypes based on acoustic RF filter technologies. The design of these prototype antennae is performed using a finite element multiphysics simulation. CMOS fabrication techniques enable the physical realization of these micro-featured antenna devices for characterization. Several radio frequency characterization methods are used to measure the forward gain of the antenna while also decoupling undesirable test system noise. Additionally we develop an analytic approach to predict the behavior of the output response as a function of an applied magnetic bias field to compare with experimental results. Other Relevant Information About Me: Paul Nordeen is a 5th year mechanical engineering graduate student researcher working in Professor Gregory Carman’s Active Materials Laboratory at the University of California, Los Angeles. He graduated summa cum laude from California State University, Fullerton in 2010 with a B.S. in mechanical engineering and began his graduate research at UCLA the same year. With an academic focus on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), Paul has been involved with many aspects of device fabrication and testing within TANMS. His early work on surface acoustic wave multiferroic antennae set the stage for what would later evolve into the TANMS 2D antenna thrust. His other research interests include static field magnetometers, spin wave dynamics and nano-patterned multiferroic characterization. Outside of research, Paul enjoys cooking and playing the guitar. In his spare time, he designs, builds and repairs many types of musical electronics from vacuum tube amplifiers to analog synthesizers. Paul is set to graduate from UCLA with his Ph.D. early in 2016 and is currently looking for positions in the defense and semiconductor industry. Publications and Citations:  Paul K.

Project title: AB INITIO SIMULATION OF STRAIN, CAPPING AND ELECTRIC FIELD EFFECTS ON MAGNETIC ANISOTROPY Project goal and Industry relevance: A magnetic tunnel junctions consists of ferromagnetic thin films (FM) sandwiched between a MgO barrier and heavy metal electrodes (capping layers). As there are usually large lattice mismatches, the component layers experience significant strain. The goal of the research is to understand effects of strain and capping on magnetic anisotropy (MA) of FM and mechanism of electric field effects on MA. The ultimate goal is to tailor magnetic junctions with high sensitivity of MA to electric field. The research is important step to realization of magnetoelectric random access memory (MeRAM). Other Relevant Information about me: My research focuses on exploring and understanding novel functionalities of materials for sustainable energy (high ionic conduction, catalysis) and spintronic applications (magnetoelectric effects, electricfield controlled magnetic anisotropy). The research strategy is to combine predictive capability of quantum mechanical laws and power of high-performance computing for material discovery. I’m interested in simulation of materials at different scales from atom to continuum to provide guidelines for experiments and applications.

Project goal and Industry relevance: This research work addresses the challenges in producing Terfenol-D thin films with a smooth surface and magnetoelastic properties equivalent to bulk Terfenol-D for multiferroic applications. Thin films of Terfenol-D have been produced by varying the DC magnetron sputtering parameters using two different crystallization methods: substrate heating and post-annealing Several characterization techniques such as WDS, XRD, TEM, AFM and SQUID are used to illustrate the influence of both sputter parameters and crystallization process on film properties. The optimized films show magnetoelastic properties similar to polycrystalline bulk Terfenol-D. The optimized Terfenol-D films will be used for the nano-motor applications. Other Relevant Information about me: I have been working on several research projects in past 15 years at the Active Materials Lab in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at UCLA. I am responsible for conducting novel research in the field of active materials in particularly sputter deposition and characterization of shape memory alloys and magnetic materials.

Colin R. Rementer Ph.D. 4th year - Chemical Engineering (UCLA) Industry interests:  Mentorship  Internship  Full-time position E-mail: [email protected] Project title: TUNING MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF SOFT FERROMAGNETIC FILMS FOR HIGH FREQUENCY APPLICATIONS

Project goal and industry relevance: My project focuses on the development of low-loss magnetically soft materials for integration into both surface acoustic wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) antennae. Traditionally, high frequency magnetic materials are insulators to avoid losses due to eddy currents, but these phases are either very magnetically hard (e.g. cobalt ferrite) or show poor magnetoelastic coupling (e.g. yttria iron garnet). With multilayer thin films, we can take advantage of each material’s unique characteristics to develop the best material possible for this application, as well gain insight into the manner in which these films couple at microwave frequencies. Other relevant information about me: I am a PhD. candidate in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, focusing on materials development for multiferroic applications. I am interested in shadowing experiences while I complete my degree and, ultimately, an industry research position when I graduate. Honors and awards: (2012) Carl J. Staska Award; (2012) Luther F.

Project title: Synthesis and characterization of solution-processed nanoscale magnetic and multiferroic materials

Project goal and Industry relevance: My research in TANMS has focused on creating magnetic materials optimized for use in the multiferroic devices TANMS is developing. Within this goal there have been two main areas of focus: metallic nanocrystals for use in voltage-based magnetoelectric memory and ferrites, both nanocrysatlline and sol-gel derived, for high frequency applications. The metallic nanocrystal systems of interest have been iron-based intermetallic materials, such as FePt and FePd. Notably, we have shown that in monolayers of FePd nanocrystals, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy can be tuned with voltage. Our ferrite research has been aimed at developing soft ferrites for use in a multiferroic antenna. Here, we use nanostructuring as well as compositional control to independently tune the static magnetic properties of materials with promising magnetoelastic and dynamic magnetic behavior. To this end, we have used nanocrystals of the traditionally hard magnetic material cobalt ferrite (CFO) and shown that the coercivity, remanence and anisotropy field can all be tuned over a large range. Finally, we have explored the traditionally soft ferrite systems containing nickel, manganese and zinc. These systems have promising high frequency behavior in the bulk, but have never been explored as thin films. We have developed a sol-gel based synthesis of thin films and explored compositional variations of this system in order to optimize both the static and dynamic magnetic properties.

Roberts 5th year Ph.D. Materials Science & Engineering (UCLA) Industry Interests: Mentorship ü Internship ü Full-time position E-mail: [email protected] Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/ccroberts Smart material composite armor for adaptive shockwave mitigation Project Goal and Industry Relevance: Christopher’s graduate research in the Ferroics Research Laboratory focuses on using smart materials in composite armor for shockwave mitigation. The electromechanical composites sense the approaching shockwave, and then actively steer and disperse the shockwave in real time, using power supplied by the armor itself. These armor composites can be used not only for traditional armor applications, but also for protecting sensitive electronic equipment in extreme environments. Christopher has partnered with Sandia National Laboratories for his computational work, and the High-Pressure Particulate Physics Facility at Eglin Air Force Base for his experimental work. Christopher prides himself on finding unique solutions by utilizing his multidisciplinary experience, and has incorporated concepts relevant to acoustic metamaterials and phononic crystals into his shock mitigation research. Other Relevant Information: Christopher Roberts obtained his undergraduate degree in physics at UC Santa Barbara. During this time, he developed an interest in solid-state physics and found a research position in the Van de Walle Group. He published his undergraduate computational research results on the role of quantum confinement on optical polarization switching in nitride-based LEDs. Christopher then earned his master’s degree in materials science and engineering at UCLA, where he specialized in electronic materials. He gained cleanroom experience in wafer processing and device fabrication. His work focused on advanced solar cells and nitride-based LEDs, and included a summer internship working in the laboratory of Nobel laureate Hiroshi Amano. Upon returning to UCLA for his Ph.D., Christopher joined the Ferroics Research Laboratory. He is also a fellow with the UCLA Office of Intellectual Property, where he helps assess the patent potential of disclosed university inventions. • • •

Stephen S. Sasaki PhD Candidate 3rd Year – Materials Chemistry (UCLA) Industry interests: ü Mentorship ü Internship ü Full-time position E-mail: [email protected] Project title: MAGNETOELECTRIC CONTROL OF THE MAGNETIC STATES IN NICKEL AND IRON RHODIUM NANOCRYSTALS Project goal and Industry relevance: My project goal is the development of a strain coupled magnetoelectric composite that would afford dynamic and reversible control of the desired magnetic state in nanocrystals via an applied electric field. The primary focus is on nickel and iron rhodium nanocrystals that display superparamagnetic and antiferromagnetic transitions, respectively. As a result of pursuing magnetoelectric control, advancements are being developed to yield nanocrystals with highly customized magnetic properties. Production of such tailored magnetic nanocrystals will be crucial to sustaining future demands for the miniaturization of computer electronics. As such, my research is relevant on both research fronts, providing improved efficiency from magnetoelectric devices and simultaneously exploring the novel properties of magnetic architectures at the nanoscale. Other Relevant Information about me: I would like to take this opportunity to highlight a unique experience, that captures my ability to “think outside the box”, my capacity to be resourceful and practical to achieve positive results, and my experiences in assuming leadership responsibilities. While at UCI, I independently developed and taught an original 5th grade science program at a local public school. Twice a week, a class of fifteen students and I explored science together, focusing on college level chemistry and physics concepts. This was an invaluable experience for me in terms of developing a strong ability to network and to utilize effective communication skills in advocating for the program and achieving successful fundraising. In a period of two years, I raised over $15,000 of donated lab equipment, optics, and chemical supplies through contacts with scientific companies nation-wide and positive press coverage of the program. Having over 120 students applying to the program after the first year, I used funding to recruit, employ, and train two UCI undergraduates who would later become my successors to ensure the future continuation of the program after my graduation. My experience with launching this successful program challenged my resourcefulness and expanded my skill set in managing student learners and employees, networking with collaborators, and developing the organizational skills to plan for the future. I hope that through this account, you are able to understand my character on a deeper level and gain insight into my work ethic, and my passion for and dedication to science at all levels.

SUMMARY I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate at UCLA in Materials and Nanoscience Chemistry and am highly motivated in exploring the interface between science and technology in the private sector. While pursuing my bachelor’s degree in chemistry at UCI, I pursued research in nanoscience that became the impetus for my interest in the chemistry of self-assembly and nanofabrication. I continued to advance this interest as a graduate student at UCLA, focusing on the application of nanotechnology. My current research, in collaboration with TANMS, is aimed at developing dynamic and reversible magnetoelectric control of the superparamagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases of nickel and iron rhodium nanocrystals for potential applications in the miniaturization and optimization of magnetic devices.

Mentored two students, Tylisia Wallace & Marquise Bartholomew. Their project focused on the next generation of magnetic materials for use in the multiferroic antenna being developed in TANMS. We aimed to investigate how the ferrite composition, of magnanese:nickel:zinc ferrites, and annealing temperature influences the high frequency losses measured by the FMR linewidth. CNSI, Spring 2015

Having over six years of scanning electron microscope experience, I was chosen to present the instrument to high school students, providing a half hour presentation on the background, operation, and applications for SEM. I enriched the experience by imaging an ant coated with nanoparticles I use for research in order to give students a unique perspective, connecting the scale of my own particles directly to the scale of the ant.

Project title: TBT

Background and Interest:

I am a 1st year Ph.D student at UCLA in mechanical engineering. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Louisville with high honors in the spring of 2015. I worked on various projects during my undergraduate. For example, I studied the force generated on a particle by an alternating current electric field produced by interdigitated electrode arrays using an AFM. I also captured and studied high speed videos of particles, of different size and material, being manipulated by an electric field generated by the same interdigitated electrode array. I also developed a micro-valve, using a strained bilayer film, which is actuated with an applied voltage. I am currently reading “Modern Magnetic Materials: Principles and Applications” by R. O’Handley and “Introduction to Magnetic Materials” by B. Cullity.

Rachel Steinhardt Industry interests: E-mail: Project title: Epitaxial TbFe2 , Terfenol-D, and TbFe2/DyFe2 Superlattices   Project goal and Industry relevance: Molecular Beam Epitaxy is a promising tool for creating novel composite multiferroics because it can create heteroepitaxial single crystal films aligned both in and out of plane for optimal magnetic alignment and strain transfer. TbFe2 is very promising for use in strain coupled composite multiferroics because it has the highest known coefficient of magnetostriction. However, its large magnetic anisotropy gives it a high energy barrier for switching which currently limits its use in devices. Preliminary density functional theory calculations suggest that straining thin films of TbFe2 could decrease its magnetic anisotropy with tensile strain having a stronger effect then compressive. The chemical environment also strongly affects the magnetocrystalline anisotropy so we hope to find some interesting properties by creating TbFe2/DyFe2 superlattices and comparing their properties to films of the alloy Terfenol-D (Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe2). Other Relevant Information about me: I received my Bachelors in mathematics and statistics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2009 after which I went to work for government labs for 4 years doing mostly programming and data analysis. During my undergrad I was lucky enough to receive an NSF experimental physics internship in a laser lab at Lehigh University. I really enjoyed this experience and it inspired me to come back to graduate school to pursue a career in experimental material science. I am very interested in the physics that occur within a material on the atomic scale, especially which produce unusual electronic and magnetic properties.

Scott M. Strutner Ph.D. 5th year - Mechanical Engineering (UCLA) Industry interests:  Mentorship  Internship  Full-time position E-mail: [email protected] Project title: Fiber Optics for Strain and magnetic field sensing Project goal and Industry relevance: We started by researching strain sensing fiber Bragg grating systems with NASA, and showed they can have a resolution down to 1 mm. While this is excellent for composite structural health monitoring for NDE/NDT, we wanted to see if this could be expanded. Distributed magnetic field sensing in an optical fiber would enable crack detection in steel and other metals. In particular, this would allow for superior crack detection in oil pipelines. A novel magneto-optical effect first discovered in 1995 was identified as a mechanism to include magnetic sensing in the optical fiber. First, we performed a materials study with Cornell to confirm the effect can be replicated. Then, a simple interferrometer device was developed. Next a planar Bragg grating will be built. Materials analysis required developing an ellipsometer with in situ magnetic field application. This required use of LabVIEW, Matlab, and Solidworks. To rapidly develop the test setup, it was designed in Solidworks and parts were 3D printed. Only select parts with contract machined. Great cost savings were achieved via 3-D printing developmental and most final parts. Developing the MZI sensor has required clean room processing, optics work, and modeling the experiments in COMSOL FEA, which gave insight into the experimental results. Other Relevant Information about me: I get great satisfaction out of mentoring others, and through my time is registering have meant toward 10 undergraduates. When not researching or mentoring I take evening courses at UCLA Anderson School of Business. I believe this coursework has developed me into well-rounded PhD. I now think about the business impact of various scientific problems. That mindset allowed me to win the local NSF perfect pitch competition, which focuses on teaching scientists to speak about the problem they are solving, the potential specific impact of the work and less about how elegant the solutions. This business knowledge combined with engineering experience enabled me to take an internship at RAND Corporation, where I studied the methods of transition R&D to products, to advise the US Air Force on how to improve their technology transfer methods. Prior to coming to UCLA I had diverse internships in Germany, Ireland, and NASA Ames, researching paper recycling, the physics of bubble films, and the heating of lunar rovers.

Project title: DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF BULK - ACOUSTIC - WAVE MEDIATED MULTIFERROIC ANTENNAS

Project goal and Industry relevance: We are developing a new class of antenna utilizing multiferroic materials to allow for efficient electrically-small antennas. Traditional antennas require oscillating electrical currents to drive radiation, which limits their ability to be scaled down since they must be on-par with the size of the electromagnetic wavelength. They are also susceptible to Ohmic loss and the platform effect, which greatly worsens performance as dimensions shrink. By using multiferroic composites consisting of strain-coupled piezoelectric and magnetostrictive materials, we are developing antennas that utilize acoustic waves as the radiation source. This offers a factor 105 reduction in characteristic dimension of the antenna and an expected 100x total reduction of antenna footprint. We believe that this will now allow antenna systems to enjoy the benefits of size reduction seen throughout the rest of the electronics industry. Other Relevant Information about me: I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2013 with a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Physics, focusing on microelectronics. I then joined the Electrical Engineering department at UCLA, where I received my Master’s degree in 2015 and am currently pursuing my doctorate. I am currently working with a team of researchers towards developing a multiferroic antenna system, leading the development of the physical antenna. For this work, my team was awarded the 2015 Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship.

Project goal and Industry relevance: We are developing a multiscale theory of granular multiferroics – novel kind of magneto-electric materials with strong coupling between magnetization and electrical polarization. These materials can be widely used in the next generation of microelectronic and nanomechanical devices. We investigate granular multiferroics at different length scales. At the nanoscale we use quantum mechanical methods to understand all relevant physics involved into magneto-electric coupling mechanism. At mesoscale level we use finite elements models allowing us on one hand to take into account our results obtained at nanoscale level and on the other hand to incorporate other relevant physical phenomena in the system. We use the results obtained at the mesoscale in our the macroscale level (device level) modeling where we use phenomenological approach allowing to incorporate these materials into engineering simulations. We use both analytical and numerical modeling approaches. The combination of different methods provides us with a deep insight into the physics of granular multiferroics and allows us to model real system.

Kyle Wetzlar Post-Doctoral Researcher – Mechanical Engineering (UCLA) Industry interests: Mentorship Internship  Full-time position E-mail: [email protected] Project title: Multi-scale Finite Element Modeling and Optimization of Electrically Small Multiferroic Surface Acoustic Wave Antenna

Project goal and Industry relevance: Design and develop an electrically small multiferroic receiving antenna using a fully coupled multiphysical finite element model and integrated optimization module. The value of developing this analysis technique is to interrogate the physics of coupling between high frequency electromagnetic waves and multiferroic heterostructures to determine the efficiency of energy transduction at sub λ/100 length scales. This technology could prove to be a substantial improvement to HF and VHF antenna structures especially in the aerospace, small scale electronics and wearables markets. Other Relevant Information about me: My major interests include coupling phenomena, especially as it pertains to the nanoscale and anisotropic materials design, energy transduction and optimization. I believe in a holistic approach to design and metrology that led me to a Ph.D. that was equally split between simulation development, fabrication and testing. In addition to the breadth of scientific knowledge I obtained over my academic career, I became very adept at conveying my understanding orally, via presentation and through print. Utilizing these talents I was awarded two SBIR’s to study multiferroic materials, assisted in writing the winning TANMS ERC proposal and won the first annual TANMS poster presentation award.

E-mail: [email protected] Project title: CHARACTERIZATION OF THIN FILM MAGNETIC MATERIALS AND MULTIFERROIC BULK ACOUSTIC WAVE ANTENNAS

Project goal and Industry relevance: A new class of antennas called strain-mediated multiferroic antennas is investigated in TANMS 2D thrust. Such antennas use the dynamic coupling properties of composite multiferroic materials rather than the static tunability examined in previous antenna works. BAW (Bulk Acoustic Wave) resonator structures are proposed to form effective dynamic strain coupling to a thin magnetostrictive layer and excite the BAW antenna radiation. In order to characterize the thin film magnetic material for BAW antenna and BAW antenna radiation characteristics, I did fundamental theoretical estimation of thin film material FMR, designed and built the testbed, conducted measurements and characteristics extraction.

Other Relevant Information about me: My research interests also include antenna array design, power amplifier modeling and design. I proposed and designed high isolation indented antenna arrays for full-duplex radios; finished the non-linear modeling for GaN transistors and model verification.
