We theoretically investigate the effective exchange interaction, $J_\mathrm{eff}$, mediated by conductive electrons within a nonmagnetic metal spacer, in the presence of a bias voltage, sandwiched by two ferromagnetic insulators. On the basis of the tight-binding model, we show the voltage and spacer thickness dependences of $J_\mathrm{eff}$, and its contorollability is demonstrated. Furthermore, we propose a new magnonic device providing both field effect transistor and non-volatile memory functions.
