Abstract

The electric field control of the exchange bias has considerable application scope in modern spintronic devices such as magnetic random-access memories. Herein, we utilize an all-solid-state $\mathrm{Li}$-ion redox capacitor with an antiferromagnetic electrode for reversible control of the exchange bias in a $\mathrm{Co}/{\mathrm{Co}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ heterostructure. The controlled intercalation and deintercalation of Li ions in the antiferromagnetic ${\mathrm{Co}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ anode via galvanostatic charge and discharge enables reversible and nonvolatile control of the exchange bias. The mechanism of exchange-bias control in the $\mathrm{Co}/{\mathrm{Co}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ heterostructure is studied using various characterization techniques. This work establishes an approach to control the exchange bias in all-solid-state magnetoionics, which is of great practical importance for the development of modern spintronic devices.
