Phase-controllable growth of ultrathin 2D magnetic FeTe crystals

Two-dimensional magnets with intrinsic ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic ordering are highly desirable for future spintronic devices. Here, the authors demonstrate a chemical vapor deposition approach to controllably grow ultrathin FeTe crystals with antiferromagnetic tetragonal and ferromagnetic hexa...

Description
Summary:Two-dimensional magnets with intrinsic ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic ordering are highly desirable for future spintronic devices. Here, the authors demonstrate a chemical vapor deposition approach to controllably grow ultrathin FeTe crystals with antiferromagnetic tetragonal and ferromagnetic hexagonal phase, showing a thickness-dependent magnetic transition.
