Large data storage at reduced dimension is of a great deal of interest in spintronic devices in which magnetic oxide films lead for realizing the modulation of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). Herein, we report the modulation of PMA in oxide heterostructures composed of one manganite layer sandwiched between two cobaltite layers, i.e., LaCoO3-delta/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/LaCoO3-delta via oxygen vacancies. The PMA is originated by the orbital reconstruction and ferromagnetic exchange interaction at the interface between the CoO6 and MnO6 octahedra layers. The modulation ratio up to a significant value ~200% of PMA can be realized through the phase transition of LaCoO3-delta layers between perovskite and brownmillerite via deprivation or replenishment of oxygen sites. The antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction at the interface between the oxygen-deficient CoO4 tetrahedra layer and the adjacent MnO6 octahedral layer with lattice distortion may suppress the magnetization and PMA. This work ensures promising outcomes in situ modulation of PMA in oxide films such as ferroelectric polarization or ionic liquid gating via the transport of oxygen vacancies.
