Magnetoelectric Control of Domain Walls in a Ferrite Garnet Film

Abstract

The effect of magnetic domain boundaries displacement induced by electric field is observed in epitaxial ferrite garnet films (on substrates with the (210) crystallographic orientation). The effect is odd with respect to the electric field (the direction of wall displacement changes with the polarity of the voltage) and even with respect to the magnetization in domains. The inhomogeneous magnetoelectric interaction as a possible mechanism of the effect is proposed.
