Abstract

Using density functional theory, magnetoelectric (ME) effect for [001]-oriented Co2MnSi/PbTiO3 ultrathin bilayer is demonstrated by changing interface configuration. Within paraelectric state, the interfacial stability is argued by phase diagram. With the reversal of electric polarization, the favorable change in local magnetization can be achieved for modified MnMn/TiO2 and CoCo/PbO interfaces. Electronic hybridization and spin-dependent charge screening are expected to be mainly responsible for the ME phenomena we address. The obtained results suggest that Co2MnSi/PbTiO3 (001) bilayer could be utilized in the area of electrically controlled magnetism, especially the bilayer with MnMn/TiO2 interface.
