摘要
Abstract Magnetic anisotropy is an important characteristic of magnetic materials. Particularly, perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) is superior for the design of spintronic devices, with the advantages of scalability, endurance, thermal stability, and low switching current density. Although a series of two-dimensional (2D) or quasi-2D layered ferromagnets have been demonstrated, the room temperature intrinsic ferromagnets with PMA is rarely found. Here, we report PMA in a room-temperature layered ferromagnet of Cr-intercalated CrTe 2 . By self-intercalation of the native Cr atoms, the in-plane anisotropy of CrTe 2 can be switched to PMA. Meanwhile, the Cr-intercalated CrTe 2 crystal can be easily exfoliated into thin flakes with thickness ∼10 nm. Besides the robust PMA at room temperature, Cr-intercalated CrTe 2 also exhibits high saturation magnetization (208 emu cm −3 at 300 K), large anomalous Hall angle (2.23% at 300 K) and giant anomalous Hall factor (∼0.18 at 300 K). These excellent properties are highly desired for applications, and make Cr-intercalated CrTe 2 a distinguished candidate among all existing magnetic materials. Our work reveals a promising platform for spintronic devices and offers a new route for controlling the magnetic anisotropy in layered materials.
