There is currently much interest in materials and structures that provide coupled ferroelectric and ferromagnetic responses, with a long-term goal of developing new memories and spintronic logic elements. Within the field there is a focus on composites coupled by magnetostrictive and piezoelectric strain transmitted across ferromagnetic-ferroelectric interfaces, but substrate clamping limits the response in the supported multilayer configuration favoured for devices. This constraint is avoided in a ferroelectric-ferromagnetic bilayer in which the magnetic response is modulated by the electric field of the poled ferroelectric. Here, we report the realization of such a device using a diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) channel and a polymer ferroelectric gate. Polarization reversal of the gate by a single voltage pulse results in a persistent modulation of the Curie temperature as large as 5%. The device demonstrates direct and quantitatively understood electric-fieldmediated coupling in a multiferroic bilayer and may provide new routes to nanostructured DMS materials and devices via ferroelectric domain nanopatterning. The successful implementation of a polymer-ferroelectric gate fieldeffect transistor (FeFET) with a DMS channel adds a new functionality to semiconductor spintronics and may be of importance for future low-voltage spintronics devices and memory structures.
Nonvolatile ferroelectric control of topological states in 2D heterostructures
量子自旋霍尔(QSH)绝缘体材料具有拓扑保护的边缘状态,可以大大减少耗散,并可用于下一代电子学。然而,拓扑边缘状态的非易失性控制仍然是一个挑战。基于第一性原理计算,通过反转铁电体α-In 2 Se 3的电极化的强度,在二维Bi(111)双层(BL)和α-In 2 Se 3构成的范德华(vdW)异质结构中发现了可开关的拓扑态。这种拓扑开关是由于α-In 2Se 3的两种相反的极化状态引起的不同的电荷转移。这种新的拓扑开关机制具有独特的优点,是全电以及非易失性。我们的发现为实现二维材料中拓扑态的铁电控制提供了一种前所未有的方法,这将在拓扑纳米电子学中具有巨大的应用潜力。

我们探索通过密度泛函计算的磁性掺杂的拓扑铁电体作为一种非常规的路线,多铁性。层状钙钛矿La $_{2}$ Ti $_{2}$ O $_{7}$的钒掺杂在很大程度上保持了电极化的强度并产生了稳健的铁磁有序性,因此具有适当的多铁性。掺杂剂聚集成链的显著趋势导致在一般掺杂下的绝缘特性。铁磁性源于多轨道V系统通过不寻常的“反铁”轨道顺序的对称性破缺,以及宿主的低对称性层状结构。

Magnetic field driven enhanced ferroelectric switching in self-grown ferroelectric-ferromagnetic composite in the BiFeO3-BaTiO3 multiferroic alloy system
多年来,人们试图弥补多铁性BiFeO 3体相态的固有弱点,如高漏电流和铁磁相关性的缺乏,并通过与其他钙钛矿形成固溶体来利用其磁电势。近几年的研究表明,BiFeO_3与BaTiO_3的合金化,无论有无添加剂,都可以诱导铁电和铁磁开关。虽然从技术应用的角度来看,这两种铁性序的共存是令人鼓舞的,但该系统中铁磁性的起源仍然难以捉摸。在这里,我们合成了这样的组合物,并进行了详细的结构分析,采用磁性分离的粉末颗粒。我们发现,铁磁性的起源在于自发沉淀的一个小的(~ 1wt%)钡六角铁氧体(BaFe 9 O 19)相,通常未检测到在常规的X射线衍射研究从整个标本的粉末取样。我们还表明,尽管微不足道的分数的亚铁磁相,这种自生长的复合材料表现出显着增强的铁电开关在外部磁场的存在下。我们得到了一个直流磁电耦合~ 9 × 10-8 s/m,这是一个值,这是已报道的层状铁电/铁磁层压板和双层薄膜铁电-铁磁hetrostructures。我们的研究表明,合理的大磁电耦合是可实现的,在简单的0-3铁电-铁磁块状复合材料提供的合成策略的开发,诱导自发沉淀的铁磁相在小体积分数,以确保良好的绝缘行为的复合材料,从而开发。
