Understanding voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy effect at Co/oxide interface.

ABSTRACT: The voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) effect is a key to realising high-speed, ultralow-power consumption spintronic devices. The fcc-Co-(111)-based stack is a promising candidate for the achievement of large VCMA coefficients. However, only a few studies on the fcc-Co-(111)-based stack have been reported and the VCMA effect has not been well understood. Previously, we observed a significant increase in the voltage-controlled coercivity (VCC) in the Pt/Ru/Co/CoO/TiO_x structure upon post-annealing. However, the mechanism underlying this enhancement remains unclear. This study performs multiprobe analyses on this structure before and after post-annealing and discusses the origin of the VCMA effect at the Co/oxide interface.
