Proximity effects in molecular beam epitaxy grown van der Waals ferromagnet Cr2Te3 on two-dimensional layers

Achieving the large-scale growth of 2D ferromagnetic materials with high Curie temperature and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is highly desirable for the development of future ultra-compact magnetic sensors or magnetic memories. In this context, van der Waals (vdW) Cr

appears as a promising candidate. It exhibits strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and a Curie temperature in bulk of 180 K. In this work, we will demonstrate the growth of quasi-freestanding few layers of Cr

on various 2D, which exhibit strong variation in terms of magnetic anisotropy with the crystal structure and exotic magnetotransport properties with of charge transfer from the 2D substrates.
