Abstract

Electric field induced reversible switchings of the magnetization and resistance were achieved at room temperature in epitaxial Mn:ZnO(110)/BiFeO3(001) heterostructures. The observed modulation of magnetic moment is ∼500% accompanying with a coercive field varying from 43 to 300 Oe and a resistive switching ratio up to ∼10(4)% with the applied voltages of ±4 V. The switching mechanisms in magnetization and resistance are attributed to the ferroelectric polarization reversal of the BiFeO3 layer under applied electric fields, combined with the reversible change of oxygen vacancy concentration at the Mn:ZnO/BiFeO3 interface.
