Abstract

Effective manipulation of the magnetic properties of nanostructured metallic alloys, exhibiting intergrain porosity (i.e., channels) and conformally coated with insulating oxide nanolayers, with an electric field is demonstrated. Nanostructured Co-Pt films are grown by electrodeposition (ED) and subsequently coated with either AlO x or HfO x by atomic layer deposition (ALD) to promote magneto-ionic effects (i.e., voltage-driven ion migration) during electrolyte gating. Pronounced variations in coercivity (HC) and magnetic moment at saturation (mS) are found at room temperature after biasing the heterostructures. The application of a negative voltage results in a decrease of HC and an increase of mS, whereas the opposite trend is achieved for positive voltages. Although magneto-ionic phenomena are already observed in uncoated Co-Pt films (because of the inherent presence of oxygen), the ALD oxide nanocoatings serve to drastically enhance the magneto-ionic effects because of partially reversible oxygen migration, driven by voltage, across the interface between AlO x or HfO x and the nanostructured Co-Pt film. Co-Pt/HfO x heterostructures exhibit the most significant magneto-electric response at negative voltages, with an inc...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
