(color online) (a) Repeatable high/low magnetization states (open circle) switched by pulsed E-fields (blue line) in CoFeB/(001)PMN-PT (from Fig. 1(d) in Ref. [54]). (b) SE curves along the [110] direction of (001) PMN-PT measured by continuous measurement (from Fig. 2(a) in Ref. [41]). (c) Schematics of the E-field-induced ferroelectric/ferroelastic domain switching pathways in (011) oriented PZN-PT single crystal substrates (from Fig. S1(a) in Ref. [49]).
