Microscopic Origin of Polarization-Controlled Magnetization Switching in FePt/BaTiO${}_3$

Qurat-ul-ain, Thi H. Ho, Soon Cheol Hong +2

Electric-field driven magnetization switching in FePt/BaTiO${}_3$ (001) is demonstrated through first-principles calculations. The magnetic easy axis of FePt layer undergoes a transi…
