摘要：
A demonstration of magnetization reversal via the application of electric field across a multiferroic heterostructure, consisting of a FeCoV ribbon bonded to a lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate crystal, is presented. The magnetization switching occurs by an abrupt change in magnetization near ferromagnetic coercivity, coinciding with an electrical field-induced magnetic anisotropy field. Experiments reveal a converse magnetoelectric coupling of alpha=mu(0) (dM/dE) = 1.6 x 10(-7) s m(-1) upon magnetization reversal in the strain-mediated heterostructure. The frequency dependence of magnetization switching is presented and explained within the framework of a relaxation model for the multiferroic heterostructure. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.
