    摘要: Magnetoelectric memory element comprising: a magnetic element (ELM) that has two equilibrium directions (P
    1 , P
    2 ) in which its magnetization is stable, these direction not being mutually opposed; a piezoelectric or electrostrictive substrate (SP) mechanically coupled to said magnetic element; and a least a first electrode (EL
    1 ) and a second electrode (EL
    2 ), arranged so as to apply an electric field to the piezoelectric or electrostrictive substrate such that said substrate exerts on said magnetic element a non-isotropic mechanical stress, able to induce switching of the magnetization state of said magnetic element by magnetostrictive coupling. Memory cell comprising such a memory element. Direct-access non-volatile memory and programmable logic circuit comprising a plurality of such memory cells.
