▎ 摘  要

To solve the fundamental dilemma in data storage applications, it is crucial to manipulate the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE). Herein, using first-principles calculations, we predict that the system of double-vacancy graphene decorated by iridium atoms possesses high stability, giant MAE, perpendicular-anisotropy and long-range ferromagnetic coupling. More importantly, the amplitude of MAE can be manipulated by electric fields. This is due to the change in the occupation number of Ir-5d orbitals. The present hybrid system could be a high-performance nanoscale information storage device with ultralow energy consumption.
