Diluted magnetic semiconductor devices where magnetism can be controlled by an electric field are of significant interest for applications, as they combine the appealing properties of multiferroics with existing semiconductor technology. By using a ferroelectric polymer as the gate of a transistor device, non-volatile electric control over the magnetism of (Ga,Mn)As has now been achieved.
