In spite of both technical and fundamental importance, reversal of a macroscopic magnetization by an electric field (E) has been limitedly realized and remains as one of great challenges. Here, we report the realization of modulation and reversal of large magnetization (M) by E in a multiferroic crystal Ba0.5Sr1.5Zn2(Fe0.92Al0.08)12O22, in which a transverse conical spin state exhibits a remanent M and electric polarization below ~150 K. Upon sweeping E between +- 2 MV/m, M is quasi-linearly varied between +- 2 {mu}B/f.u., resulting in the M reversal. Moreover, the remanent M shows non-volatile changes of {Delta}M = +- 0.15 {mu}B/f.u., depending on the history of the applied electric fields. The large modulation and the non-volatile two-states of M at zero magnetic field are observable up to ~150 K where the transverse conical spin state is stabilized. Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements provide microscopic evidences that the electric field and the magnetic field play an equivalent role, rendering the volume of magnetic domains change accompanied by the domain wall motion. The present findings point to a new pathway for realizing the large magnetization reversal by electric fields at fairly high temperatures.

Microwave assisted magnetization reversal has been investigated in a bilayer system of Pt/ferromagnet by detecting a change in the polarity of the spin pumping signal. The reversal process is studied in two material systems, Pt/CoFeB and Pt/NiFe, for different aspect ratios. The onset of the switching behavior is indicated by a sharp transition in the spin pumping voltage. At a threshold value of the external field, the switching process changes from partial to full reversal with increasing microwave power. The proposed method provides a simple way to detect microwave assisted magnetization reversal.
Oriented Strontium Ferrite films with the c axis orientation were deposited with varying oxygen partial pressure on Al2O3(0001) substrate using PLD technique. The angle dependent magnetic hysteresis, remanent coercivity and temperature dependent coer civity had been employed to understand the magnetization reversal of these films. It was found that the Strontium Ferrite thin film grown at lower (higher) oxygen partial pressure shows Stoner-Wohlfarth type (Kondorsky like) reversal. The relative importance of pinning and nucleation processes during magnetization reversal is used to explain the type of the magnetization reversal with different oxygen partial pressure during growth.
Nanowires with very different size, shape, morphology and crystal symmetry can give rise to a wide ensemble of magnetic behaviors whose optimization determines their applications in nanomagnets. We present here an experimental work on the shape and m orphological dependence of the magnetization reversal mechanism in weakly interacting Co80Ni20 hexagonal-close-packed nanowires. Non-agglomerated nanowires (with length L and diameter d) with a controlled shape going from quasi perfect cylinders to diabolos, have been studied inside their polyol solution in order to avoid any oxidation process. The coercive field HC was found to follow a standard behavior and to be optimized for an aspect ratio L/d > 15. Interestingly, an unexpected behavior was observed as function of the head morphology leading to the strange situation where a diabolo shaped nanowire is a better nanomagnet than a cylinder. This paradoxical behavior can be ascribed to the growth-competition between the aspect ratio L/d and the head morphology ratio d/D (D being the head width). Our experimental results clearly show the importance of the independent parameter (t = head thickness) that needs to be considered in addition to the shape aspect ratio (L/d) in order to fully describe the nanomagnets magnetic behavior. Micromagnetic simulations well support the experimental results and bring important insights for future optimization of the nanomagnets morphology

Flexible control of magnetization switching by electrical manners is crucial for applications of spin-orbitronics. Besides of a switching current that is parallel to an applied field, a bias current that is normal to the switching current is introduc ed to tune the magnitude of effective damping-like and field-like torques and further to electrically control magnetization switching. Symmetrical and asymmetrical control over the critical switching current by the bias current with opposite polarities is both realized in Pt/Co/MgO and $alpha$-Ta/CoFeB/MgO systems, respectively. This research not only identifies the influences of field-like and damping-like torques on switching process but also demonstrates an electrical method to control it.

Control of physical property in terms of external fields is essential for contemporary technologies. The conductance can be controlled by a gate electric field in a field effect transistor, which is a main component of the integrated circuit. Optical phenomena induced by an electric field such as electroluminescence and electrochromism are useful for display and other technologies. Control of microwave propagation seems also imperative for future wireless communication technology. Microwave properties in solids are dominated mostly by magnetic excitations, which cannot be easily controlled by an electric field. One of the solutions for this problem is utilizing magnetically induced ferroelectrics (multiferroics). Here we show that microwave nonreciprocity, which is difference between oppositely propagating microwaves, can be reversed by the external electric field in a multiferroic helimagnet Ba$_2$Mg$_2$Fe$_{12}$O$_{22}$. This result offers a new avenue for the electrical control of microwave properties.
