Abstract
The half-metallic Heusler alloy Co2FeSi is an ideal material in spintronic devices due to its higher spin polarization, higher Curie temperature and lower damping parameters. In this work, the dynamic magnetism of Co2FeSi is modulated by electric field and it is demonstrated that the charge-spin conversion efficiency ξ is continuous and controllable by the electric field. We further find an extremely high ξ in ferromagnetic/ferroelectric (FM/FE) heterostructures, which could be ascribed to interfacial effect in FM/FE interface. Moreover, we investigate that the charge-spin conversion efficiency varies with the electric field in a butterfly-like behavior, which accords with the S–E curve of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-Pb0.7Ti0.3O3(PMN-PT) and could be attributed to strain effect. The modulation of charge-spin conversion efficiency in FM/FE heterostructures via electric field presents a profound potential for next-generation spintronic devices and applications of current-induced magnetization switching.
