Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals antiferromagnetic (AFM) materials boast exceptional properties for spintronics, including high spin-wave speeds and negligible stray fields. Their layer-by-layer assembly into heterostructures enables the exploration of next-generation spintronic devices. However, most 2D AFM materials are semiconductors or insulators. Thus, magneto-transport, a key segment of spintronics, is difficult to obtain especially at low temperatures. Herein, we report the observation of anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in 2D CrOCl/Pt bilayer heterostructure. Magneto-transport measurements supported by density functional theory calculations reveal that the appearance of AHE is generated by spin polarization in Pt due to the magnetic proximity effect. In addition, it is demonstrated that the magnetic easy-axis changes from the z-axis to the xy-plane at the interface of the heterostructure. Our work sheds light on the magneto-transport properties of 2D CrOCl and its potential in emerging spintronic devices.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
