The ability to dynamically tune the coercive field of magnetic thin films is a powerful tool for applications, including magnetic recording disk technologies. Recently a number of papers have reported the electrical voltage control of the coercive field of various magnetic thin films in multiferroic composites. Theoretically this is possible in magneto-electric (ME) multiferroics due to the piezo - ferroelectric component that can be electrically activated to dynamically modify the properties of the magnetic component of the composite via a direct or strain mediated ME coupling. In this paper we fabricated and examined such structures and we determined that the magnetic coercive field reduction is most likely due to a heating effect. We concluded that this effect is probably an artefact that cannot be attributed to a multiferroic coupling.
