An extreme sub-wavelength dual electromagnetic and acoustic on-chip antenna implemented with magnetostrictive/multiferroic nanomagnets actuated by the giant spin Hall effect

This is an extreme sub-wavelength dual electromagnetic and acoustic on-chip antenna implemented with either magnetostrictive/multiferroic nanomagnets or with antiferromagnets undergoing metamagnetic transition to a ferromagnetic state at a temperature modified by strain. The antenna dimensions can be a few hundred nanometers and can operate at VHF, UHF, or EHF frequencies.
