題目: Electrical control of magnetization via direct piezo-electro-magnetic coupling

Abstract:
The interplay between magnetic and electric properties of magnetic layers is of a considerable interest owing to the perspective of exploiting the underlying mechanisms for the next generation of devices for information storage and processing. Several different ways have been exploited for the control of the magnetization vector by an electric field – predominantly in metallic ferromagnets. Here we show a previously unforeseen phenomenon of piezo-electro-magnetic effect operating in one host: insulating dilute magnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)N. After a brief introduction to the magnetism in (Ga,Mn)N it be shown that the application of an electric field along a polar axis in this wurtzite magnetic compound leads to a sizable change of its crystalline magnetic anisotropy via the inverse piezoelectric effect. We investigate this phenomenon experimentally and describe theoretically in a paramagnetic Ga0.975Mn0.025N as a function of temperature, magnetic, and electric field.
