The electric-field (E-field) controlled exchange bias (EB) in a Co90Fe10/BiFeO3 (BFO)/SrRuO3/PMN-PT heterostructure has been investigated under different tensile strain states. The in-plane tensile strain of the BFO film is changed from +0.52% to +0.43% as a result of external E-field applied to the PMN-PT substrate. An obvious change of EB by the control of non-volatile strain has been observed. A magnetization reversal driven by E-field has been observed in the absence of magnetic field. Our results indicate that a reversible non-volatile E-field control of a ferromagnetic layer through strain modulated multiferroic BFO could be achieved at room temperature.
在不同拉伸应变状态下,对Co90Fe10/BiFeO3(BFO)/SrRuO3/PMN-PT异质结构中的电场(E场)控制交换偏置(EB)进行了研究。由于向PMN-PT衬底施加外部E场,BFO薄膜的面内拉伸应变从+0.52%变为+0.43%。观察到通过控制非挥发性应变使EB发生了明显变化。在没有磁场的情况下,观察到由E场驱动的磁化反转。我们的结果表明,在室温下可以通过应变调制多铁性BFO实现对铁磁层的可逆非挥发性E场控制。
