Full ferroelastic and simultaneously ferroelectric materials are interesting candidates for applications in devices based on multiferroic heterostructures. They should allow for nonvolatile and low-power writing of data bits in magnetoelectric random access memories. Moreover, ferroelasticity, in contrast to piezoelectric material, make magnetic information in ferromagnetic film resistant to external fields. As an example for such a system, we have studied the magnetoelastic interaction between a thin ferromagnetic layer of Ni Fe 85 15 with a full ferroelastic-ferroelectric gadolinium molybdate ( ) Gd MoO 2 43 crystal. We have investigated the influence of ( ) Gd MoO 2 43 spontaneous strain onto magnetic properties of thin ferromagnetic film. Particularly, we have shown by Brillouin spectroscopy, that it is possible to modulate surface spin wave frequency of Ni Fe 85 15 by spontaneous strain of gadolinium molybdate substrate.
