Abstract

We report on the magnetic properties of Co40Fe 40B20/YMnO3 multiferroic heterostructures in which Co40Fe40B20 shows an in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy with the magnetic easy axis along the ferroelectric polarization direction of YMnO3. The coercive field (Hc) of Co40Fe40B20 shows an interesting non-monotonic change from the easy axis to hard axis with a maximum at a certain angle. It was demonstrated that the magnetic property of Co40Fe 40B20 was dominated by the FE domain induced strain and the angular dependence of Hc can be understood by the two phase model. This work is helpful for understanding the coupling between ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials.
