Magnetization switching is a key process in magnetic memories and information storage but is energetically costly, requiring an external magnetic field or spin polarized currents. Here, Ga1−xMnxN is demonstrated to be one of the rare piezoelectric ferromagnetic homogeneous compounds where uniaxial magnetic anisotropy and magnetization can be controlled by an electric field.
