We have investigated the contribution of stochastic thermally activated processes to the electric-field effects on coercivity in FePt. Coercive field distributions were measured under different gate voltages in solid-state field-effect structures. For low voltages, a shift in the coercive field distribution can be observed; however, it is not larger than the width of the distribution. Higher voltages are needed to obtain the splitting from the negative (zero) voltage distribution allowing for the unambiguous characterization of the electric-field effect. A virtual unipolarity in the electric-field effect has been identified as a feature introduced by the dielectric layer that disappears upon annealing.
