Electrical control of antiferromagnetic domains in multiferroicBiFeO3 film at room temperature
Abstract
Multiferroic materials, which offer the possibility ofmanipulating the magnetic state by an electric field or vice versa, areof great current interest. In this work, we demonstrate the firstobservation of electrical control of antiferromagnetic domain structurein a single-phase multiferroic material at room temperature.High-resolution images of both antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric domainstructures of (001)-oriented multiferroic BiFeO3 filmsrevealed a cleardomain correlation, indicating a strong coupling between the two types oforder. The ferroelectric structure was measured using piezo forcemicroscopy, whereas X-ray photoemission electron microscopy as well asits temperature dependence was used to detect the antiferromagneticconfiguration. Antiferromagnetic domainswitching induced by ferroelectricpolarization switching was observed, in agreement with theoreticalpredictions.
