The giant converse magnetoelectric coupling (GME) was observed in the multiferroic Co40Fe40B20/(011)-0.7Pb (Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.3PbTiO3 heterostructures at room temperature in this investigation. A tunability of magnetization by electric field along the [100] direction was up to-66.7% at-10 Oe bias magnetic fields. Moreover, the non-volatile magnetization switching was found after removal of bipolar electric field. The corresponding remanent magnetic states even without the assistance of bias magnetic fields were stable and could be modulated synchronously by a sequence of pulse electric fields. The 90o rotation of easy axis and non-symmetrical ferroelastic domain switching contributed to the above results. This work is of great significance in designing ultra-low power and non-volatile magnetoelectric memories and other spintronic devices at room temperature.
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.
