The combination of exchange-biased systems and ferroelectric materials offers a simple effective way to investigate the angular dependence exchange bias using one sample with electric-field-induced competing anisotropies. A reversible electric-field-controlled magnetization reversal at zero magnetic field is also realized through optimizing anisotropy configuration, holding promising applications for ultralow power magnetoelectric devices.
