Abstract

Large electric field tunable remanent magnetization and in-plane anisotropy in a Fe65Co35 film was observed in sputtered ferromagnetic/ferroelectric heterostructures. Two stable magnetization directions were established through a 90° transition of the in-plane uniaxial anisotropy of FeCo film under a positive electric field, and large nonvolatile remanence ratio tunability between 0.50 and 0.12 was realized using electric field pulses. With the increase of negative electric field, the anisotropy field increases at a rate of around 31.1 Oe/(kV cm−1). The large tunable anisotropy field and remnant magnetization may have potential applications in electrically tunable microwave magnetic devices and information storage memories.
