Electric-Field Control of Magnetization and Electronic Transport in Ferromagnetic/Ferroelectric Heterostructures

Nominated as an outstanding thesis by Tsinghua UniversityIntroduces multiferroic materials and methods in order to briefly characterize multiferroic propertiesDescribes the achievement of switchable and nonvolatile electric-field control of magnetization in Co40Fe40B20/Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.7 Ti0.3O3(001) structures at room temperaturePuts forward a new mechanism for the electric field control of nonvolatile magnetization in strain-mediated multiferroic heterostructuresIncludes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
