Summary: Air-gapped VTIs demonstrate large inductance tunability through electric field modulation of permeability, but there is a tradeoff between tunability and saturation current. The introduction of air gap significantly reduces tunability while increasing saturation current, and the air gap affects the magnetization, permeability, and tunability of VTIs.

Summary: This paper presents a novel architecture for executing reconfigurable multiwavelength photonic multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations based on all-solid-state vertically-integrated tunable cavities. By simulating the weighting action and efficiently leveraging the out-of-plane dimension, a conceptual 'smart pixel' device is formed, achieving higher spectral channel count and computational density than traditional architectures, and applicable in fields such as neuromorphic photonic information processing, sensing, and communications.

Summary: This study presents electrically tunable microwave resonators fabricated via inkjet printing onto polyimide substrates using organic electrochemical transistors. By applying electrostatic gating to the polymer-a mixed ion-electron conductor-the amplitude and frequency of different microwave resonant structures can be modulated in the sub-5-GHz range. This demonstrates the potential for creating electrically tunable metamaterial-inspired devices in the microwave range.

Summary: We conducted spin transport studies on a low-field, room-temperature magnetoelectric multiferroic poly-crystalline Sr3Co2Fe24O41|Pt heterostructure with a highly tunable transverse conical magnetic phase. The spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) exhibited different behaviors at different magnetic fields, with a crossover from negative to positive SMR observed at higher fields. By analyzing the magnetic configuration, we found that the tilting and closing of the cone were responsible for the observed SMR behavior. Additionally, longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) signal showed a similar field-dependent behavior as the magnetization. Our findings demonstrate the potential of the Sr3Co2Fe24O41|Pt heterostructure for novel spintronic devices.
