要旨

Magnon-driven interfacial magnetoelectric coupling in Co/PMN-PT multiferroic heterostructures is investigated at room temperature. The electric field controlled ferromagnetic resonance field possesses a loop-like curve, with a large resonance field shift between positive and negative remanent polarizations, which confirms a non-volatile strong magnetoelectric coupling. However, with a non-magnetic Ta layer inserted at the Co/PMN-PT interface, a piezostrain-induced butterfly-like curve of the resonance field versus applied electric field of the Co/Ta/PMN-PT multiferroic heterostructure is observed. Further, the non-volatile behavior of the resonance field changing with the applied electric field can be obtained, consistent with the result of polarization versus applied electric field curve, which can be attributed to the magnon-driven interfacial magnetoelectric coupling, showing a strong correlation of magnetization of Co thin film and the polarization of PMN-PT. The result is promising for the design of future multiferroic devices.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
