Piezostrain tuning exchange bias mediated by electric field in composite heterostructure

摘要

The change of unidirectional anisotropy and uniaxial anisotropy field turned by piezostrain in an IrMn/Co/Ta/Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-PbTiO3 heterostructure with an exchange bias was investigated by ferromagnetic resonance at room temperature. The curve of the magnetic resonance field versus the electric fields showed an asymmetric butterfly-like behavior, which was consistent with the result of strain versus electric field curves. This butterfly-like behavior can be attributed to the piezostrain effect. Specifically, the non-volatile uniaxial anisotropy field and unidirectional anisotropy field behavior under different electric fields induced by piezostrain effect were obtained. Our result is crucial for further application of future multiferroic devices.
