Electric-field manipulation of magnetization in an insulating dilute ferromagnet through piezoelectromagnetic coupling by Dariusz Sztenkiel, Katarzyna Gas, Nevill Gonzalez Szwacki, Marek Foltyn, Cezary Śliwa, Tomasz Wojciechowski, Jarosław Z. Domagala, Detlef Hommel, Maciej Sawicki, Tomasz Dietl

“…Employing a macroscopic spin model and atomistic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert theory with Langevin dynamics, we demonstrate that the magnetoelectric response results from the inverse piezoelectric effect that changes the trigonal single-ion magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Second, in the metastable regime of ferromagnetic hystereses, the magnetoelectric effect becomes non-linear and irreversible in response to a time-dependent electric field, which can reorient the magnetization direction. …”
