Effective 90-degree magnetization rotation in Co2FeAl thin film/Piezoelectric system probed by microstripline ferromagnetic

Microstripline ferromagnetic resonance technique has been used to study the indirect magnetoelectric coupling occurring in an artificial magnetoelectric heterostructure consisting of a magnetostrictive thin film cemented onto a piezoelectric actuator. Two different modes (sweep-field and sweep-frequency modes) of this technique have been employed to quantitatively probe the indirect magnetoelectric coupling and to observe a voltage induced magnetization rotation (of 90 degree). This latter has been validated by the experimental frequency variation of the uniform mode and by the amplitude of the sweep-frequency spectra.
