Self‐Intercalated Magnetic Heterostructures in 2D Chromium Telluride (Adv. Funct. Mater. 2/2023)

Magnetic Heterostructures In article number 2208528, Cai, Han, Lin and co-workers report that multi-configurational 2D CrxTey magnetic heterojunctions are visualized by transmission electron microscopy diffraction and atomic scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging. The lateral heterojunction of Cr2Te3-Cr5Te8 shares the layered CrTe2 as the backbone, and different arrangements of intercalated Cr in van der Waals gap form distinct magnetic phases. It exhibits a novel magneto-optical behavior of a sharply stepped hysteresis loop with twice spin flips.
