Abstract

Abstract The PZT/Insulator/CoFe nanometer multilayer has been proposed for applications of the spin-dependent devices in this paper. With the strains as a response of PZT layer to an applied electric field in the structure, the magnetization in CoFe layer can be significantly altered, leading to a significance change in magnetoresistance. Our numerical results have demonstrated that the magnetization states in CoFe layer can be tuned by an electric field without a magnetic field being present.
