Electric field control of magnetic properties in CoPt/Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 heterostructure at room temperature.

We demonstrate an obvious electric-field control of magnetic properties in CoPt/PMN-PT heterostructure at room temperature. Not only the remanent magnetization but also the coercivity exhibits an obvious response with the electric field. Without the aid of magnetic bias field, the remanent magnetization of the CoPt film shows an analogous on-off behavior with the electric field switching on and off alternatively. The magnetization reversal can be electrically controlled in this heterostructure due to the variation of coercivity caused by electric field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
