Abstract:
The different arrangements of domains of piezoelectric-piezomagnetic superlattices lead to different pro-perties. Piezoelectric-piezomagnetic superlattices with four types of domains in a unit cell (FPPS) are studied in detail in this work; the arrangements of a period are divided into 3 types, that is (+P,-P,+M,-M), (+P,-P,+P,〖JP2〗+M) and (+P,+M,-M,+M). For the FPPS with 〖JP2〗(+P,-P,+M,-M) domains, there is a frequency channel allowing one-way transmission of forward electromagnetic waves, and the relative bandwidth is about 326%. For the FPPS with (+P,-P,+P,+M),〖JP〗 the maximum group velocity index ngreaches 69 6951 in the frequency channel around 〖DD(-1.7mm〗-〖DD)〗=2374. The delay time is about 232 s when electromagnetic waves pass through the FPPS with the total length of 1 cm. For the FPPS with (+P,+M,-M,+M), the fast and slow waves can be switched when the electric field is applied to invert the polarization, and the change of group velocity index can reach 525. Thus, it is suggested that the FPPS can be applied to construct the one-way waveguide and slow wave delay devices.
