Abstract
The influence of a gate voltage on domain wall (DW) propagation is investigated in ultrathin Pt/Co/gadolinium oxide (GdOx) films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The DW propagation field can be enhanced or retarded by an electric field at the Co/GdOx interface and scales linearly with gate voltage up to moderate bias levels. Higher gate voltage levels, corresponding to electric fields >0.2 V/nm, produce a large irreversible change to the magnetic anisotropy that can enable nonvolatile switching of the coercivity.
