We study magnetic and magnetotransport properties of an epitaxial interfacial multiferroic system consisting of a ferromagnetic Heusler-alloy Co 2 FeSi and a ferroelectric-oxide BaTiO 3 . L2 1 -ordered Co 2 FeSi epilayers on BaTiO 3 (001) show an in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy with strong temperature dependence, induced by the presence of the magnetoelastic effect via the spin-orbit interaction at the Co 2 FeSi/BaTiO 3 (001) interface. In the Co 2 FeSi Hall-bar devices, the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) hysteretic curves depending on inplane magnetization reversal processes on the a and c domains of BaTiO 3 (001) are clearly observed at room temperature. Notably, the magnitude of the AMR ratio (%) for Co 2 FeSi Hall-bar devices can be tuned through the a − c domain wall motion of BaTiO 3 (001) by applying electric fields. We propose that the tunable AMR effect is associated with the modulation of the spin-orbit interaction, exchange interaction, and/or the electronic band structure near the Fermi level by applying electric fields in the epitaxial Co 2 FeSi/BaTiO 3 (001) interfacial multiferroic system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
