Schematic illustration of the transtive device and its exemplary implementation. (a), (b) Model transtive devices comprising an ME medium sandwiched between two parallel electrodes, realized with either a longitudinal (a) or a transverse (b) ME effect. (c) A four-terminal device design, the gyrator, with a transtor in the longitudinal configuration coupled to an inductor. (d) A four-terminal current converter design with a transtor in the longitudinal configuration coupled to another transtor. The memtranstor can also be used in the gyrator and the current converter by replacing the transtors to achieve versatile memory functionalities.
