Abstract

A simple and fully gate-voltage-controlled magnetic random access memory is designed based on anisotropic magnetoresistance. This multiferroic memory device consists of just a single magnetic film grown on a ferroelectric layer with bistable in-plane anisotropic ferroelastic or piezo strains induced by out-of-plane voltages. It can simultaneously achieve ultrahigh storage density, ultralow energy consumption, and GHz high-speed operation at room temperature.
