Figure 1. Voltage-controlled magnetism in CoFe/BiFeO3 heterostructure.

Figure 1

(a) Locally coupled magnetic and ferroelectric domains in the Co0.9Fe0.1(CoFe)/BiFeO3(BFO) heterostructure reproduced by phase-field model (the first row), based on electric-field switching of the interfacial exchange coupling field HDM which is perpendicular to the plane of electric polarization P and the antiferromagnetic axis L in BFO (the second row). The slim arrows indicate orientations of local magnetization vectors. (b) Schematic of an epitaxial BFO film with partially relaxed substrate clamping when the film thickness tp exceeds the critical value tc for the generation of interfacial dislocations.
