Electric field control of magnetism in thin metal/metal oxide nanostructures offers new energy-saving opportunities for the development of microelectromechanical systems, microfluidics and spintronics. Recently, it was shown that large changes in magnetism can be realized by exploiting magneto-ionic effects [1, 2]. In previous studies we obtained large changes of the saturation magnetization in sputter deposited thin iron films by using them as an electrode in an aqueous electrolyte containing 1 M KOH [2]. Changes were achieved by reversibly switching the oxidation state of a 1.5 nm Fe reaction layer. Much larger effects can be obtained by increasing the surface-to-volume ratio of the magnetic nanostructures. Here we demonstrate an all-electrochemical-approach where the magnetism of an electrodeposited nanogranular iron film can be switched almost on and off reversibly. The effects were proved by in situ measurements of the anomalous Hall effect and the ferromagnetic resonance.
