Article Abstract

The coupling between van der Waals-layered magnetic and superconducting materials holds the possibility of revealing novel physical mechanisms and realizing spintronic devices with new functionalities. Here, we report on the realization and investigation of a maximum ∼17-fold magnetoresistance (MR) enhancement based on a vertical magnetic tunnel junction of FeGeTe (FGT)/NbSe/FGT near the NbSe layer's superconducting critical temperature () of 6.8 K. This enhancement is attributed to the band splitting in the atomically thin NbSe spacer layer induced by the magnetic proximity effect on the material interfaces. However, the band splitting is strongly suppressed by the interlayer coupling in the thick NbSe layer. Correspondingly, the device with a thick NbSe layer displays no MR increase near but a current dependent on transport properties at extremely low temperatures. This work carefully investigates the mechanism of MR enhancement, paving an efficient way for the modulation of spintronics' properties and the achievement of spin-based integrated circuits.

Resistive sensors are widely used to detect gases, but integrating magnetoresistive effects for enhanced selectivity and sensitivity remains largely unexplored. Here we have investigated several magnetic materials in a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensor, showing that iron oxides can exhibit both positive and negative magnetoresponses at relatively low operating temperatures (120-160 °C), with no simple correlation between magnetoresponse and bulk magnetization, leading to the discovery of LaFeO as an outstanding material for magnetoresistive gas sensing.

We report a robust half-metallic interface state in the CrI/2H-WTe van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure, exhibiting 100% spin polarization and an extraordinary magnetoresistance exceeding 1 × 10%. These unique properties position the CrI/2H-WTe configuration as an exceptional candidate for applications in data storage, spintronics, and spin caloritronics. By designing a device incorporating CrO electrodes, we model charge and spin transport in this heterostructure and analyze the thermal properties under parallel (PM) and antiparallel (APM) magnetization states.

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) are the elemental devices for advanced spintronic technologies, where tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) serves as one of the key performance metrics. Here, we used the topologically nontrivial magnetic insulator CrVI and magnetic metal FeGeTe to fabricate CrVI/FeGeTe heterojunctions and FeGeTe/CrVI/FeGeTe MTJs. In the heterojunctions, the addition of CrVI led to a 180% coercive field enhancement of FeGeTe near the Curie temperature () of CrVI, which originated from the antiferromagnetic coupling between them.

Measuring weak magnetic fields proposes significant challenges to the sensing capabilities of magnetic field sensors. The magnetic field detection capacity of tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) sensors is often insufficient for such applications, necessitating targeted optimization strategies to improve their performance in weak-field measurements. Utilizing magnetic flux concentrators (MFCs) offers an effective approach to enhance TMR sensitivity.
