Temperature-dependent measurements reveal unveiled details of the local intimately related to spin-lattice coupling. This study is particularly focused on illuminating changes occurring...

Abstract Spintronic devices that utilize spin transfer torque are promising for integrated memory applications. However, these face substantial energy consumption challenges due to the high current densities required switching. Conversely, voltage‐driven spintronic devices, using capacitive displacement charge, can realize switching operations energy‐efficient (≈1–10 fJ bit −1 ). This work investigates based on voltage control of interlayer exchange coupling in perpendicular magnetic...

Dielectric analysis confirms temperature ($T_{C}$ $\approx$ 290 K) and also frequency dispersion in dielectric constant observed towards low Polarization first-order reversal curves (FORC) suggest that system re-entrant at temperatures. Put together, all these electrical...

We’ve also found that a non-linear relationship governs c/a population ratio fields.
