Despite significant technological advances in miniaturization and operational speed, modern electronic devices suffer from unescapably increasing rates of Joule heating and power consumption. Avoiding these limitations sparked the quest to identify alternative, charge-neutral information carriers. Thus, spin waves, the collective precessional motion of spins in permanent magnets, were proposed as a promising alternative system for encoding information. In order to surpass the speed, efficiency, functionality and integration density of current electronic devices, magnonic devices should be driven by electric-field induced methods. This review highlights recent progress in the development of electric-field-controlled magnonic devices, including present challenges, future perspectives and the scope for further improvement.Magnonics involves the manipulation of spin waves in order to develop more energy efficient spintronics devices which do not rely on the movement of electronic charge. Here, the authors review the various methods designed to control magnonics with particular focus on voltage i.e. electric-field.
