Switching of ferromagnetism by electric field at room temperature and measurement configuration. a, Ferromagnetic phase transition of a metal ferromagnet of Cobalt (Co) was induced by applying a gate voltage (VG) at room temperature. The device for the transport measurements consists of a metal gate (Au=Cr), an insulator layer (HfO2), and an ultrathin Co layer. b, Measurement configuration with Hall-bar-shaped device. Anomalous Hall resistance (RHall) measured with a
d.c. current I of 20 A was used to measure the local magnetization of the ultrathin Co layer under the applications of the gate voltage (VG). |
