2D magnetic material in room temperature. (IMAGE)
Caption
The researchers have for the first time succeeded in demonstrating a device, based on a 2D magnetic material, in room temperature. The 2D magnetic crystal is shown as the blue, yellow and white balls and is a mix of Iron, Tellurium and Germanium atoms. The big turquoise arrow indicates the magnetization direction of the 2D magnet. The crystal with gray color is the carbon atoms of the graphene channel. The smaller turquoise arrows indicate the spin-polarized electrons injected from the 2D magnet into the graphene channel. Here, the 2D magnet act as a source for spin-polarized electrons and the graphene channel for spin transport and communication.
