Growth of perpendicularly magnetized thin films on a polymer buffer and voltage-induced change of magnetic anisotropy at the MgO|CoFeB interface

We show that perpendicularly magnetized thin films can be grown onto polyimide, a potentially flexible substrate. With polar Kerr magnetometry, we demonstrate that the coercive field of CoFeB thin film can be modulated by applying a back gate voltage. Our proposed multi-layered structure is suitable...
