Electric-field-driven ion migration is an effective way to control many physical properties such as electric and magnetic properties of materials. In this research, we demonstrated that remarkably small electric field as low as 105 V/m can effectively modulate resistance of a GdOx microwire due to the lateral motion of oxygen ions. This result enables mimicking a synaptic device with low power consumption like as a brain. Furthermore, huge MR modulation of the GdOx microwire with the electric field provides novel functionality as an electromagnetic device.
