    Selective Out‐of‐Plane Optical Coupling between Vertical and Planar Microrings in a 3D Configuration
    (Hoboken, NJ : Wiley, 2020) Valligatla, Sreeramulu; Wang, Jiawei; Madani, Abbas; Naz, Ehsan Saei Ghareh; Hao, Qi; Saggau, Christian Niclaas; Yin, Yin; Ma, Libo; Schmidt, Oliver G.
    3D photonic integrated circuits are expected to play a key role in future optoelectronics with efficient signal transfer between photonic layers. Here, the optical coupling of tubular microcavities, supporting resonances in a vertical plane, with planar microrings, accommodating in‐plane resonances, is explored. In such a 3D coupled composite system with largely mismatched cavity sizes, periodic mode splitting and resonant mode shifts are observed due to mode‐selective interactions. The axial direction of the microtube cavity provides additional design freedom for selective mode coupling, which is achieved by carefully adjusting the axial displacement between the microtube and the microring. The spectral anticrossing behavior is caused by strong coupling in this composite optical system and is excellently reproduced by numerical modeling. Interfacing tubular microcavities with planar microrings is a promising approach toward interlayer light transfer with added optical functionality in 3D photonic systems.

    Voltage‐Controlled Deblocking of Magnetization Reversal in Thin Films by Tunable Domain Wall Interactions and Pinning Sites
    (Hoboken, NJ : Wiley, 2020) Zehner, Jonas; Soldatov, Ivan; Schneider, Sebastian; Heller, René; Khojasteh, Nasrin B.; Schiemenez, Sandra; Fähler, Sebastian; Nielsch, Kornelius; Schäfer, Rudolf; Leistner, Karin
    High energy efficiency of magnetic devices is crucial for applications such as data storage, computation, and actuation. Redox‐based (magneto‐ionic) voltage control of magnetism is a promising room‐temperature pathway to improve energy efficiency. However, for ferromagnetic metals, the magneto‐ionic effects studied so far require ultrathin films with tunable perpendicular magnetic anisotropy or nanoporous structures for appreciable effects. This paper reports a fully reversible, low voltage‐induced collapse of coercivity and remanence by redox reactions in iron oxide/iron films with uniaxial in‐plane anisotropy. In the initial iron oxide/iron films, Néel wall interactions stabilize a blocked state with high coercivity. During the voltage‐triggered reduction of the iron oxide layer, in situ Kerr microscopy reveals inverse changes of coercivity and anisotropy, and a coarsening of the magnetic microstructure. These results confirm a magneto‐ionic deblocking mechanism, which relies on changes of the Néel wall interactions, and of the microstructural domain‐wall‐pinning sites. With this approach, voltage‐controlled 180° magnetization switching with high energy‐efficiency is achieved. It opens up possibilities for developing magnetic devices programmable by ultralow power and for the reversible tuning of defect‐controlled materials in general.

    Virtual Testing of Geometrically Imperfect Additively Manufactured Lattice Structures
    (Hoboken, NJ : Wiley, 2021) Gebhardt, Ulrike; Kästner, Markus; Hufenbach, Julia Kristin; Kühn, Uta; Berner, Matthias; Holtzhausen, Stefan
    Additively manufactured lattice structures increase the lightweight potential of components for technical applications. When modelling the mechanical behaviour of those lattice structures, imperfections within the structures need to be considered. In this contribution we investigate the effect of process induced pores of varying size and location inside the lattice structure during pressure tests using a 2D minimal model in two configurations. It shows that the location of pores with respect to the configuration of the model has a strong influence on whether the imperfection decreases the mechanical performance.
