exhibit ionic conduction and oxygen-related phase transformation,
having potential applications in solid oxide fuel cells, smart windows,
and memristive devices. The phase transformation in SFOx typically requires a thermal annealing process under
various pressure conditions, hindering their practical applications.
Here, we have achieved a reversible phase transition from brownmillerite
(BM) to perovskite (PV) in SrFeO2.5 (SFO2.5)
films through ionic liquid (IL) gating. The real-time phase transformation
is imaged using in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.
The magnetic transition in SFO2.5 is identified by fabricating
an assisted La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO)
bottom layer. The IL-gating-converted PV phase of a SrFeO3−δ (SFO3−δ) layer shows a ferromagnetic-like
behavior but applies a huge pinning effect on LSMO magnetic moments,
which consequently leads to a prominent exchange bias phenomenon,
suggesting an uncompensated helical magnetic structure of SFO3−δ. On the other hand, the suppression of both
magnetic and exchange coupling signals for a BM-phased SFO2.5 layer elucidates its fully compensated G-type antiferromagnetic
nature. We also demonstrated that the phase transition by IL gating
is an effective pathway to tune the resistive switching parameters,
such as set, reset, and high/low-resistance ratio in SFO2.5-based resistive random-access memory devices.
