▎ 摘  要

Ion migration has direct and crucial bearing on the crystal lattice field, electron filling, orbital occupation and spin polarization, which in turn changes the physical properties. Electric field is an effective way to control ion migration, but it may include simultaneous movement of multiple ions and increase the complexity of the system. Therefore, controllable and selective single ion migration with an unambiguous mechanism is highly desired. Here, the magnetic moments of Fe3O4 could be reversibly controlled by ionic liquid gating on the basis of migration of pure protons. A bilayer graphene could serve as an ion sieve, allowing only protons rather than oxygen ions or hydroxyl groups to participate in the gating process, thus guaranteeing the reversibility of magnetic property changes. This work is expected to supply an ideal arena for electrically sketching the functionalities of solid state materials based on the selective ion migration.
