摘要: The half-metallic Heusler alloy Co$_{2}$FeSi is an ideal material in spintronic devices due to its higher spin polarization, higher Curie temperature and lower damping parameters. In this work, the dynamic magnetism of Co$_{2}$FeSi is modulated by electric field and it is demonstrated that the charge-spin conversion efficiency $\xi $ is continuous and controllable by the electric field. We further find an extremely high $\xi $ in ferromagnetic/ferroelectric (FM/FE) heterostructures, which could be ascribed to interfacial effect in FM/FE interface. Moreover, we investigate that the charge-spin conversion efficiency varies with the electric field in a butterfly-like behavior, which accords with the $S$-$E$ curve of Pb(Mg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3})$O$_{3}$-Pb$_{0.7}$Ti$_{0.3}$O$_{3}$(PMN-PT) and could be attributed to strain effect. The modulation of charge-spin conversion efficiency in FM/FE heterostructures via electric field presents a profound potential for next-generation spintronic devices and applications of current-induced magnetization switching.
