In this material, a converse magnetoelectric effect and especially, an electric field-induced magnetic anisotropy and magnetization switching process have been observed at the changing stages of applied electric voltage. In addition, a significant relative change in magnetization, above 100\%, is obtained, which facilitates practical applications of the materials. This opens possibilities in achieving new types of memory devices, the low energy consumption devices, as well as other functionalities, such as voltage-tunable field sensing. A simple theory based on strain-mediated magnetic-electric coupling is also presented to understand the origin of the change in magnetic properties of the materials.} }
