Abstract(Bi1−xLax)(Fe,Co)O3 multiferroic magnetic film were fabricated using pulsed DC (direct current) sputtering technique and demonstrated magnetization reversal by applied electric field. The fabricated (Bi0.41La0.59)(Fe0.75Co0.25)O3 films exhibited hysteresis curves of both ferromagnetic and ferroelectric behavior. The saturated magnetization (Ms) of the multiferroic film was about 70 emu/cm3. The squareness (S) (= remanent magnetization (Mr)/Ms) and coercivity (Hc) of perpendicular to film plane are 0.64 and 4.2 kOe which are larger compared with films in parallel to film plane of 0.5 and 2.5 kOe. The electric and magnetic domain structures of the (Bi0.41La0.59)(Fe0.75Co0.25)O3 film analyzed by electric force microscopy (EFM) and magnetic force microscopy (MFM) were clearly induced with submicron scale by applying a local electric field. This magnetization reversal indicates the future realization of high performance magnetic device with low power consumption.

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a relativistic effect, where an electron moving in an electric field experiences an effective magnetic field in its rest frame. In crystals without inversion symmetry, it lifts the spin degeneracy and leads to many magnetic, spintronic, and topological phenomena and applications. In bulk materials, SOC strength is a constant. Here, we demonstrate SOC and intrinsic spin splitting in atomically thin InSe, which can be modified over a broad range. From quantum oscillations, we establish that the SOC parameter α is thickness dependent; it can be continuously modulated by an out-of-plane electric field, achieving intrinsic spin splitting tunable between 0 and 20 meV. Unexpectedly, α could be enhanced by an order of magnitude in some devices, suggesting that SOC can be further manipulated. Our work highlights the extraordinary tunability of SOC in 2D materials, which can be harnessed for in operando spintronic and topological devices and applications.

Abstract We investigate the plasmon properties in N-layer silicene systems consisting of N, up to 6, parallel single-layer silicene under the application of an out-of-plane electric field, taking into account the spin-orbit coupling within the random-phase approximation. Numerical calculations demonstrate that N undamped plasmon modes, including one in-phase optical and (N-1) out-of-phase acoustic modes, continue mainly outside the single-particle excitation area of the system. As the number of layers increases, the frequencies of plasmonic collective excitations increase and can become much larger than that in single layer silicene, more significant for high-frequency modes. The optical (acoustic) plasmon mode(s) noticeably (slightly) decreases with the increase in the bandgap and weakly depends on the number of layers. We observe that the phase transition of the system weakly affects the plasmon properties, and as the bandgap caused by the spin-orbit coupling equal that caused by the external electric field, the plasmonic collective excitations and their broadening function in multilayer silicene behave similarly to those in multilayer gapless graphene structures. Our investigations show that plasmon curves in the system move toward that in single layer silicene as the separation increases, and the impacts of this factor can be raised by a large number of layers in the system. Finally, we find that the imbalanced carrier density between silicene layers significantly decreases plasmon frequencies, depending on the number of layers.
