Abstract
We investigate voltage induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) changes in MgO/Cr/Au/ Fe80 Co20 /MgO /polyimide/ indium tin oxide (ITO). In order to observe the PMA change, spin wave frequency was measured by Brillouin light scattering with finite bias voltages applied between Au and ITO electrodes. The obtained PMA constants from spin wave frequency of Fe80 Co20 layer show clear bias voltage dependences, which agree well with the previous polar-Kerr effect measurement results and theoretical study. This study suggests spintronics devices operated by an electric field for next generation devices complying with low-power consumption.
