Mechanisms allowing electrical manipulation of magnetic material possess potential applications in low power memory and sensor technologies. Here, the authors demonstrate the control of magnetic characteristics via voltage-driven migration of oxygen across a GdOx/Co interface, well into the bulk of the cobalt.
