 강자성/산화물 계면에서 나타나는 수직 자기 이방성은 오비탈 혼성화에 의한 것으로 알려져 있으며 전계 인가를 통해 계면의 상태를 변화시켜 강자성층의 자기적 특성을 제어할 수 있음이 보고된 바 있다. 특히 전계에 의한 산화물 내 산소 이온의 이동을 통해 계면의 산화 상태를 변화시킬 경우, 자기적 특성을 효율적으로 제어할 수 있으며 변화된 자기적 특성이 유지되는 비휘발성을 가지고 있어 활발히 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전계에 의한 자기 이방성 제어 효과에 영향을 미치는 산화물의 재료 인자에 관한 연구에 대해 보고하고자 한다. 연구를 위해 TiO₂를 채택하였으며 전계에 의해 보자력, 수직 자기 이방성, 스핀궤도토크 스위칭 전류 등의 자기적 특성을 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 산화물의 증착 온도에 따라 전계에 의한 자기적 특성의 변화량이 달라짐을 관찰할 수 있었다. 산화물의 재료 분석을 진행하여 전계에 의한 자기 이방성 제어 효과에 영향을 주는 재료 인자를 확인하고 실험 결과를 해석하였다.
