The application of % order biaxial tensile strain can control the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in a CoFeB/MgO system deposited on a flexible substrate. Magnetic anisotropy switch from perpendicular to in-plane was observed when increasing the strain. Reversibility of the anisotropy change has been confirmed. The mechanism of the anisotropy change was discussed based on the strain-induced modulation of the bulk and CoFeB/MgO interfacial anisotropies, which is the origin of the PMA in the system.
