Abstract

The non-volatile resistance states induced by converse piezoelectric effect are observed in ferromagnetic/ferroelectric epitaxial heterostructures of (011)-La2/3Sr1/3MnO3/0.7Pb(Mg2/3Nb1/3)O3-0.3PbTiO3 (LSMO/PMN0.7PT0.3). Three stable remnant strain states and the corresponding resistance states are achieved by properly reversing the electric field from the depolarized direction in ferroelectric PMN0.7PT0.3 substrate. The non-volatile resistance states of the LSMO film can be manipulated by applied electric-field pulse sequence as a result of the large coupling between the electronic states of LSMO film and the strain transferred from the ferroelectric substrate. The electrically tunable, non-volatile resistance states observed exhibit potential for applications in low-power-consumption electronic devices.
