Magnetic semiconductors entwine two of the most successful concepts in both fundamental physics and industrial applications. Recently antiferromagnets have been proposed as new and atractive material systems. Antiferromagnetic spintronics have been demonstrated by the fabrication of tunnel devices, atomic-size proof-of concepts, even devices without auxiliary ferromagnetic layers. Here we present the control of the electrical conductivity of an antiferromagnetic semiconductor by manipulating the magnetic state of a contiguous ferromagnetic.
We present an oxide-based fully epitaxial heterostructure, its structural characterization and the electrical measurements showing a direct link between state of the ferromagnetic gate and ohmic resistance of the semiconductor, even displaying distinct remnant resistance states. We will also show that distinct remnant states can also been obtained at room temperature, promising potential applicability.
