The strain effect on the ferroelectric and magnetoelectric coupling in multiferroic tunnel junction (MFTJ) Co/BaTiO3/Co has been investigated systematically by using first-principles calculations within density functional theory. It is found that both in-plane compressive strain and uniaxial tensile strain lead to the enhancement of ferroelectric polarization stability and intensity of magnetoelectric coupling in the MFTJ. There is a transition from the paraelectric phase to the ferroelectric phase for the BaTiO3 layer in MFTJ when the loaded in-plane compressive strain increases up to −2.8% and the corresponding average ferroelectric polarization is about 0.13 C m−2. Meanwhile, the calculated surface magnetoelectric coefficients increase with increasing in-plane compressive strain. Similar phenomena have been also observed in the case of uniaxial tensile strain implemented in MFTJ. The results suggest that the ferroelectric polarization and magnetoelectric coupling in multiferroic tunnel junctions can be controlled by strain and we expect that this study can provide a theoretical basis for the design of spintronic devices.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
