摘要:

采用密度泛函方法研究了外加电场对Fe/MgO(001)界面磁性的影响.结果表明,如果在介电常数较大的介质材料上施加电场,可以显著增强界面磁化强度和磁晶各向异性的影响。特别是,我们预测的增强界面的磁电磁化率的MgO的介电常数的一个因素超过的自由站立的Fe(001)表面。我们还预测了一个显着的效果,电场上的界面磁晶各向异性由于在Fe/MgO界面的Fe原子的3d轨道的相对占有率的变化。这些结果可能是有趣的技术应用,如电控磁数据存储。

英文摘要:

Density-functional calculations are performed to explore magnetoelectric effects originating from the influence of an external electric field on magnetic properties of the Fe/MgO(001) interface. It is shown that the effect on the interface magnetization and magnetocrystalline anisotropy can be substantially enhanced if the electric field is applied across a dielectric material with a large dielectric constant. In particular, we predict an enhancement of the interface magnetoelectric susceptibility by a factor of the dielectric constant of MgO over that of the free standing Fe (001) surface. We also predict a significant effect of electric field on the interface magnetocrystalline anisotropy due to the change in the relative occupancy of the 3d-orbitals of Fe atoms at the Fe/MgO interface. These results may be interesting for technological applications such as electrically controlled magnetic data storage.
