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.
