Then, the Fe3O4 nanoparticles and Fe3O4@SiO2 composite nanoparticles were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Recently, the studies focus on how to improve the dispersion of composite particle and achieve good magnetic performance. Hence effects of the volume ratio of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and magnetite colloid on the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of the composite nanoparticles were systematically investi-gated. The results revealed that the Fe3O4@SiO2 had better thermal stability and dispersion than the magnetite nanoparticles. Furthermore, the particle size and magnetic property of the Fe3O4@SiO2 composite nanoparticles can be adjusted by changing the volume ratio of TEOS and magnetite colloid.展开更多

A remarkable voltage-controlled magnetism is observed in the device that possesses both ferroelectric property and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA). The nucleation field and coercivity can be modulated by voltage pulse while saturation field keeps stable. The non-volatile and reversible voltage-controlled magnetism is ascribable to interfacial charges caused by ferroelectric polarization. Meanwhile, the effective anisotropy energy density(Ku) can also be controlled by voltage pulse, a decrease of 83% and increase of 28% in Kuare realized under-3-V and 3-V pulses,respectively. Because the energy barrier is directly proportional to Ku under a given volume, a decreased or enhanced energy barrier can be controlled by voltage pulse. Thus, it is an effective method to realize low-power and high-stability magneto-resistive random-access memory(MRAM).展开更多
