Electric field as a switching tool for magnetic states in atomic-scale nanostructures
Physical Review Letters 106, (3),pp 037202/1-4 (2011)
One of the most promising candidates for the construction of ultrahigh-density storage media is low-dimensional atomic-scale magnetic nanostructures exhibiting magnetic bi- or multistability. Here we propose a novel route of locally controlling and switching magnetism in such nanostructures. Our ab initio studies reveal that an externally applied electric field can be used for this purpose.
