We studied magnetic properties by applying electric voltage (V-app) to FePt/MgO stacks with different FePt thicknesses (t(FePt)), where t(FePt) was varied in the range from 0.6 to 1.5 nm. The change in coercivity (H-c) became remarkable when t(FePt) was reduced, and a change in H-c of 45 Oe was achieved for t(FePt) = 0.6 nm by changing V-app in the range from +5 to -13V. However, the resistance change of the anomalous Hall effect remained almost constant regardless of V-app. These experimental results suggest the possibility of interface magnetic anisotropy between FePt and MgO being modulated in the present devices by applying V-app, which leads to voltage-induced change in H-c in the FePt layer.
