Using x-ray magnetic spectroscopy with in-situ electrical characterizations, we investigated the effects of external voltage on the spin-electronic and transport properties at the interface of a Fe/ZnO device. Layer-, element-, and spin-resolved information of the device was obtained by cross-tuning of the x-ray mode and photon energy, when voltage was applied. At the early stage of the operation, the device exhibited a low-resistance state featuring robust Fe-O bonds. However, the Fe-O bonds were broken with increasing voltage. Breaking of the Fe-O bonds caused the formation of oxygen vacancies and resulted in a high-resistance state. Such interface reconstruction was coupled to a charge-transfer effect via Fe-O hybridization, which suppressed/enhanced the magnetization/coercivity of Fe electronically. Nevertheless, the interface became stabilized with the metallic phase if the device was continuously polarized. During this stage, the spin-polarization of Fe was enhanced whereas the coercivity was lowered by voltage, but changes of both characteristics were reversible. This stage is desirable for spintronic device applications, owing to a different voltage-induced electronic transition compared to the first stage. The study enabled a straightforward detection of the spin-electronic state at the ferromagnet-semiconductor interface in relation to the transport and reversal properties during operation process of the device.

:使用具有原位电学特征的X射线电磁光谱技术,我们研究了外部电压对Fe / ZnO器件界面处的自旋电子和输运性质的影响。当施加电压时,通过交叉调整X射线模式和光子能量,可以获得设备的层,元素和自旋分辨信息。在操作的早期阶段,该器件表现出具有坚固的Fe-O键的低电阻状态。然而,随着电压的升高,Fe-O键断裂。 Fe-O键的断裂导致氧空位的形成并导致高电阻状态。这种界面重建通过Fe-O杂化作用耦合到电荷转移效应,从而电子地抑制/增强了Fe的磁化/矫顽力。但是,如果器件连续极化,则界面会被金属相稳定。在此阶段,铁的自旋极化增强,而矫顽力由于电压而降低,但两种特性的变化都是可逆的。由于与第一阶段相比,电压感应的电子跃迁不同,因此该阶段对于自旋电子设备应用是理想的。这项研究使得能够在设备操作过程中直接检测铁磁-半导体界面上的自旋电子状态与传输和反转特性之间的关系。
