The broken inversion symmetry at interfaces of complex oxides gives rise to emergent phenomena, such as ferromagnetism and Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) which influence the electronic structure by entangling spin and momentum. While the interplay between Rashba SOC and ferromagnetism is theoretically intriguing, its experimental manifestations remain largely unexplored. Here we demonstrate a ferromagnetic Rashba two-dimensional electron gas at a SrTiO3-based interface in which the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and nonlinear transport can be tuned electrostatically. The AHE varies in amplitude but also reverses sign with gate voltage due to the reversal of the net Berry curvature, providing a distinct form of magnetoelectric switching. In addition, we observe spontaneous nonreciprocal transport at zero magnetic field whose polarity is governed by the remanent magnetization and is strongly gate-tunable. These results establish oxide-based ferromagnetic Rashba 2DEGs as a platform to engineer Berry-curvature landscapes and explore gate-tunable spintronic functionalities driven by band topology.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
