Here we show a nonvolatile, room temperature magnetization reversal determined by an electric field in a ferromagnet- multiferroic system. The effect is reversible and mediated by an interfacial magnetic coupling dictated by the multiferroic. Such electric-field control of a magnetoelectric device demonstrates an avenue for next-generation, low-energy consumption spintronics. © 2011 American Physical Society.}, year = {2011}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, volume = {107}, number = {21}, issn = {00319007}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.107.217202}, note = {cited By 303}, language = {eng}, }
