Two-dimensional quantum material heterostructures are emerging as a strong option for creating energy-efficient, non-volatile spin-based devices. In these systems, researchers have observed tunable and unusual spin orbit torque behaviors when 2D materials with engineered electronic and magnetic properties are combined. Recent breakthroughs using van der Waals heterostructures—particularly those made from the Weyl semimetal TaIrTe₄ and out-of-plan...

Chromium ditelluride, CrTe2, is an attractive candidate van der Waals material for hosting 2D magnetism. However, how the room-temperature ferromagnetism of the bulk evolves as the sample is thinned to the single-layer limit has proved controversial. This, in part, reflects its metastable nature, vs. a series of more stable self-intercalation compounds with higher relative Cr:Te stoichiometry. Here, exploiting a recently develo...
