| Outline of Research at the Start |
In 2014, we discover a tunneling magneto-dielectric (TMD) effect in nanocomposites based on a completely new mechanism of spin-dependent quantum tunneling phenomenon. From the practical viewpoint,wide-frequency band, high-frequency TMD effect is very demanding. Here, to achieve this objective, I propose a granular-Functional Gradient Materials with wide distribution of inter-granular spacing.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tunnelling magneto-dielectric (TMD) effect in nanocomposites discovered by our group in 2014 features a narrow peak of the maximum dielectric variations. This limits its magnetoelectric application over a wide frequency range. From the practical viewpoint, it is highly demanded to develop the broadband TMD response. In this research, I have proposed and fabricated a composition-gradient multilayer nanogranular structure that can exhibit a broadband TMD effect up to megahertz frequency range. Additionally, I have realized the unprecedented high TMD response of up to 8.5% with small addition of Si into the conventional nanogranular films.
