ZrTe2/CrTe2: an epitaxial van der Waals platform for spintronics

Van der Waals heterostructures offer the potential of integrating multiple material layers into a single device to achieve new functionalities. Here, Ou et al combine ZrTe2, a topological semimetal, with CrTe2, a 2D ferromagnet, in a single heterostructure and demonstrate spin-orbit torque switching...
