Magneto-optical light modulation using the VCMA effect in MgO/Co–Fe/Gd/Gd–Fe layers

Voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) effect of Co–Fe (0.4 nm)/Gd (0.2 nm)/GdxFe100−x multilayers with varying Gd–Fe thickness (5–10 nm) and composition (x = 20–24 at.%) was investigated. The magnetic anisotropy without voltage application drastically changed from in-plane to out of plane wi...
