Modulation of persistent magnetoresistance by piezo-strain effect in manganite-based heterostructures

Abstract

Persistent magnetoresistance effects in the phase-separated Pr0.65(Ca0.25Sr0.75)0.35MnO3/SrTiO3 and Pr0.65(Ca0.25Sr0.75)0.35MnO3/0.7PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3–0.3PbTiO3 heterostructures under a low magnetic field are investigated. It is observed that the persistent magnetoresistance effects decrease with increasing temperatures and the values for the heterostructures on 0.7Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.3PbTiO3 and SrTiO3 substrates are about 86.6% and 33.2% at 40 K, respectively. More interestingly, the applied electric field on the 0.7PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3–0.3PbTiO3 substrate can suppress the persistent magnetoresistance effect, indicating that different energy landscapes can be dramatically modulated by the piezo-strain. These results are discussed in terms of the strain-induced competition in the ferromagnetic state and the charge-ordering phase by the energy scenario, which provide a promising approach for designing devices of electric-magnetic memories in all-oxide heterostructures.

Sunlight Control of Interfacial Magnetism for Solar Driven Spintronic Applications

“…For centuries, researchers have been devoting their lifetime efforts to making electronics cheaper, more compact, and more energy‐efficient . A good example is that spintronics applications are the minimization of electronic devices . Here, spins, instead of electrons, serve as information storage media, as well as logical and information processing devices.…”

Tuning Magnetism and Photocurrent in Mn-Doped Organic–Inorganic Perovskites

“…Particularly, manipulating magnetism in semiconductors is the foundation of spintronics. − As nonmagnetic materials, hybrid perovskites were recently integrated into spintronic devices and used as a spacer between ferromagnetic (FM) electrodes. − It was reported that the magnetic field can assist the preparation of perovskite films, enhancing the performance of PSC . Moreover, the magnetic field effect is significant in perovskites because of the strong spin–orbit coupling (SOC) brought by the heavy atoms (Pb, I) in their building block. , In a recent work, Zhang et al attributed the influence of magnetic field on photoelectric characteristics to the spin-mixing of photogenerated electron–hole pairs with different g -factors .…”

“…Compared with the traditional electronic computer platforms, spin wave based platforms have significant strengths in size and efficiency . In recent decades, voltage‐driven magnetoelectric (ME) coupling effect, not limited by the requirement of the device size or the conductivity of the control object, has been proved to be a shortcut and energy efficient method . The fundamental voltage tunable phenomena, like control the interplay among the charge, lattice, orbital, and spin degrees of freedom, have also been investigated .…”
