Magnetically switched electric polarity of domain walls in iron garnet films

Abstract: Spiral multiferroics whose ferroelectricity is driven by spatial spin modulation attract considerable attention due to strong magnetoelectric coupling observed in them. The present paper shows that a similar mechanism is involved in the case of conventional micromagnetic structures such as domain walls. It is shown experimentally and theoretically that the domain wall in iron garnet films has electric polarization which can be switched by an external magnetic field. From the practical application standpoint it… Show more

“…Different phenomena correspond to the cases of the coupling with homogeneous [3][4][5][6][7] and inhomogeneous [8][9][10][11][12][13] magnetization. The latter type of phenomena exists in the magnetic domain walls [8,[12][13][14][15][16][17] and magnetic vortexes [18,19]. These types of the magnetoelectric interactions have been described by the Lifshitz invariant-like single-constant coupling term P i (M j r k M n À M n r k M j ) [11,17].…”

“…The FME effects have been observed in different experiments: switching the helicity with electric field in orthorhombic manganites RMnO 3 (R¼Dy,Tb) [24,25] and MnWO 4 [26], the motion of domain walls in the gradient electric field in (BiLu) 3 (FeGa) 5 O 12 films [14,15], incommensurate spin-density-wave state observed in the ferroelectric BiFeO 3 [27]. The indirect evidence of the FME effect can be seen in the enhancement of electromagnetooptical effect (i.e.…”

“…The use of domain walls and other topological defects in multiferroics [2] for magnetic storage are very promising since they provide a mechanism of very dense packing of information, while topological nature protects information from loss under the influence of external perturbations such as heating or mechanical action. Among the bright examples of such topological defects are skyrmion lattices [3], as well as individual skyrmions observed in magnetoelectric materials [4], magnetic vortices [5,6], and domain walls [7,8].…”
