Magnetically Tunable Resonator

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention describes a process for manufacturing magnetically tunable nano-resonators by embedding nanoparticles made of a crystalline magnetic material (such as yttrium-iron-garnet) into small cavities within a substrate made of flexible semiconductor nanomembranes. By applying a magnetic field, the resonance frequency of these nano-resonators can be precisely adjusted. The patent also covers devices such as receivers, emitters, filters, and mixers that incorporate arrays of such nano-resonators, enabling frequency tuning for various electromagnetic applications.
