We present a mechanism for the magnetoelectric coupling at ferroelectric/ferromagnetic interfaces based on screening via interfacial spin-rearrangement [1]. We find an electric-polarization-driven, non-collinear spin region extending over the spin-diffusion length in the ferromagnet. The orbital motion of the carriers in the ferromagnet is affected by the gauge field associated with the non-collinear spin order and hence indirectly by the electric polarization. Changing the latter, e.g., via an electric field influences the interfacial magnetic order and hence the spin-orbital coupled motion of the carriers. This allows for tuning the interfacial spin-dependent transport via electric fields. The resulting coupling is robust at room temperature and can be well approximated by a linear polarization- magnetization coupling, whose strength estimate for the composite Co(40 nm)/(tetragonal)BaTiO3 is in line with recent experiments [2].
