摘要:

实验研究了电场对Co/Al_2 O_3颗粒多层膜磁化强度的影响。我们观察到两个不同的制度:(a)低场制度时,系统的净磁化强度与所施加的电场以可逆的方式变化和(b)高场制度时,磁化强度不可逆地减少。前者归因于Co颗粒中少数和多数带的相对3d轨道占据的变化。一个理论模型已被开发来解释的电场诱导的颗粒系统的能带结构的变化,因此磁矩。后一个结果可以理解为假设电场诱导氧从Al 2 O3迁移到Co颗粒,因为通过从头计算显示Co颗粒的氧化态的增加导致系统的磁化强度降低。

英文摘要:

We study experimentally the effect of electric field on the magnetization of Co/Al2O3 granular multilayers. We observe two distinct regimes: (a) low-field regime when the net magnetization of the system changes in a reversible way with the applied electric field and (b) high-field regime when the magnetization decreases irreversibly. The former is attributed to the changes in the relative 3d-orbital occupation of the minority and majority bands in the Co granules. A theoretical model has been developed to explain the electric field induced changes in the band structure of the granular system and hence the magnetic moment. The latter result may be understood assuming the electric field induces oxygen migration from Al2O3 to the Co granules, since an increase in oxidation state of the Co granules is shown, through ab-initio calculations, to give rise to a reduced magnetization of the system.
