Room-Temperature Electric-Field Control of Anomalous Hall Effect in Py/BTO/LSMO Heterostructures
We demonstrate room temperature electric field control of the anomalous Hall effect in epitaxial Ni80Fe20 (Py) BaTiO3 (BTO) La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) thin film heterostructures grown on MgO and LaAlO3 substrates. Substrate induced strain states generate distinct magnetic anisotropies, enabling voltage driven tuning between anomalous and topological Hall contributions. Robust ferroelectric polarization in BTO, confirmed by piezoresponse force microscopy, couples strongly to interfacial orbital reconstruction and carrier redistribution. As a result, Hall resistivity exhibits giant low voltage tunability, with up to nearly 93 percent modulation at operating voltages of only 0.5 tand 2 V. Density functional theory calculations further reveal polarization controlled Rashba spin splitting, establishing a direct link between ferroelectric order and emergent quantum transport. These findings establish Py/BTO/LSMO heterostructures as promising candidates for low-power multifunctional spintronic devices, where substrate engineering enables control over emergent quantum transport phenomena.
