Electric-field control of ferromagnetism through oxygen ion gating

It has been suggested that the magnetic properties of metal layers using reversible redox reactions could form the basis of memory devices but this requires fast electric control to be practical. Here the authors demonstrate this on sub-millisecond timescales in a metal–oxide heterostructure.
