Abstract
Exchange coupling between ferromagnetic and multiferroic materials is a key to magnetoelectric devices but hard to achieve macroscopically. Here, the authors report room–temperature robust and reproducible magnetoelectric switching in Co/BiFeO3 heterostructures with monodomain properties over the entire sample at room temperature.
