Nonvolatile manipulation of transport and magnetic properties by external electric field is significant for information storage. In this study, we investigate the electric field control of resistance and magnetization in a magnetoelectric heterostructure comprising an electronic phase-separated La0.325Pr0.3Ca0.375MnO3 (LPCMO) thin film and a ferroelectric (011)-oriented 0.7Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.3PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) substrate. In a room-temperature poled sample, the metal-to-insulator transition temperature of an LPCMO film increases and the resistance decreases with variation in the effect of the remnant strain. Meanwhile, the increase in the magnetization of the sample is observed as well. This effect would be beneficial for the development of novel storage devices with low power consumption.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
