The technique of electrical field to manipulate physicochemical properties of oxide heterostructures has ample potential in electronic and ionitronic devices. SrCoO 3−x is a famous "sponge" material displaying topotactic structural phase transition from perovskite (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.25) to brownmillerite (x = 0.5) accompanied by the magnetic phase transition from ferromagnetism to antiferromagnetism, which can be controlled reversibly by electric field via the ionic liquid gating method. Here, the exchange spring effect can be observed at the perovskite SrCoO 3−x (P-SCO)/La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 (LSMO) bilayer, while the exchange bias effect is received at the brownmillerite SrCoO 2.5 (B-SCO)/LSMO bilayer. The reversible and nonvolatile switching of the exchange spring and exchange bias effect can be achieved in these SCO 3−x /LSMO bilayers by utilizing ionic liquid gating to control the annihilation or generation of oxygen vacancies. In addition, the variations in the stacking orders of these SCO 3−x /LSMO bilayers are investigated because the previous SCO 3−x layer always acts as the cover layer. It is worth noting that LSMO/SCO 3−x bilayer magnetization is strongly suppressed when the SCO 3−x layer is used as the bottom layer. Combined with the X-ray line dichroism measurements, it is suggested that the bottom SCO 3−x layer would induce the spin arrangements in the LSMO layer to have the tendency toward the out-of-plane orientation. This is the reason for the sharp decrease in magnetization of LSMO/SCO 3−x bilayers. Our investigations accomplish a reversible control of the exchange coupling transition in all-oxide bilayers and provide the foundation for further electric-field control of magnetic properties.

The emerging magnetic topological materials bring a new opportunity to obtain giant transverse transport effects. In this work, a greatly enhanced anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is obtained in electron-doped magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2− xSb xS2, showing a maximum anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) of ∼1600 Ω−1 cm−1 and an anomalous Hall angle of ∼26%. Based on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of scaling models, the enhanced AHC comes from the intrinsic mechanism related to the Berry curvature of the topological band structures. A small amount of electron doping still makes the EF around the gapped nodal rings. At the same time, disorder doping leads to the splitting and broadening of bands, which enhance the Berry curvature and intrinsic AHC. Our work provides an important guidance for the design and development of large AHE in magnetic topological materials.

The abnormal high-temperature perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of the LSMO layer and electric field-controlled reversible tuning of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in its bilayer have been studied.
