A rapidly developing field of spintronics is based on the premise that substituting charge with spin as a carrier of information can lead to new devices with lower power consumption, non-volatility and high operational speed. Despite efficient magnetization detection, magnetization manipulation is primarily performed by current-generated local magnetic fields and is very inefficient. Here we report a novel non-volatile hybrid multiferroic memory cell with electrostatic control of magnetization based on strain-coupled GaMnAs ferromagnetic semiconductor and a piezoelectric material. We use the crystalline anisotropy of GaMnAs to store information in the orientation of the magnetization along one of the two easy axes, which is monitored via transverse anisotropic magnetoresistance. The magnetization orientation is switched by applying voltage to the piezoelectric material and tuning magnetic anisotropy of GaMnAs via the resulting stress field.

We report a femtosecond response in photoinduced magnetization rotation in the ferromagnetic semiconductor GaMnAs, which allows for detection of a four-state magnetic memory at the femtosecond time scale. The temporal profile of this cooperative magn etization rotation exhibits a discontinuity that reveals two distinct temporal regimes, marked by the transition from a highly non-equilibrium, carrier-mediated regime within the first 200 fs, to a thermal, lattice-heating picosecond regime.

An investigation of the spatially resolved distribution of domains in the multiferroic phase of MnWO$_4$ reveals that characteristic features of magnetic and ferroelectric domains are inseparably entangled. Consequently, the concept of multiferroic h ybrid domains is introduced for compounds in which ferroelectricity is induced by magnetic order. The three-dimensional structure of the domains is resolved. Annealing cycles reveal a topological memory effect that goes beyond previously reported memory effects and allows one to reconstruct the entire multiferroic multidomain structure subsequent to quenching it.

Analytical expressions for the magnetoelastic anisotropy constants of cubic magnetic systems are derived for rectangular and oblique distortions originating from epitaxial growth on substrates with lower crystal symmetry. In particular, the temperatu re variation of the magnetic properties of magnetic films grown on barium titanate (BaTiO3) substrates are explained in terms of strain-induced magnetic anisotropies caused by the temperature dependent phase transitions of BaTiO3. Our results quantify the experimental observations in ferromagnet/bto-based structures, which have been proposed as templates for magnetoelectric composite heterostructures.
Neutron spherical polarimetry, which is directly sensitive to the absolute magnetic configuration and domain population, has been used in this work to unambiguously prove the multiferroicity of (ND4)2[FeCl5(D2O)]. We demonstrate that the application of an electric field upon cooling results in the stabilization of a single-cycloidal magnetic domain below 6.9 K, while poling in the opposite electric field direction produces the full population of the domain with opposite magnetic chirality. We prove the complete switchability of the magnetic domains at low temperature by the applied electric field, which constitutes a direct proof of the strong magnetoelectric coupling. Additionally, we refine the magnetic structure of the ordered ground state, determining the underlying magnetic space group consistent with the direction of the ferroelectric polarization, and we provide evidence of a collinear amplitude-modulated state with magnetic moments along the a-axis in the temperature region between 6.9 and 7.2 K.
We report dynamics of the transient polar Kerr rotation (KR) and of the transient reflectivity induced by femtosecond laser pulses in ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As with no external magnetic field applied. It is shown that the measured KR signal consist of several different contributions, among which only the oscillatory signal is directly connected with the ferromagnetic order in (Ga,Mn)As. The origin of the light-induced magnetization precession is discussed and the magnetization precession damping (Gilbert damping) is found to be strongly influenced by annealing of the sample.
