Abstract
A magneto-electronic device includes a first electrode, a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode, and an electric-field-controllable magnetic tunnel junction arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode. The electric-field-controllable magnetic tunnel junction includes a first ferromagnetic layer, an insulating layer formed on the first ferromagnetic layer, and a second ferromagnetic layer formed on the insulating layer. The first and second ferromagnetic layers have respective first and second magnetic anisotropies that are alignable substantially parallel to each other in a first state and substantially antiparallel in a second state of the electric-field-controllable magnetic tunnel junction.
