## Description

- description: The van der Waals magnets CrX3 (X = I, Br, and Cl) exhibit highly tunable
    magnetic properties and are promising candidates for developing novel two-dimensional
    (2D) spintronic devices such as magnetic tunnel junctions and spin tunneling transistors.
    Previous studies of CrCl3 have mainly focused on mechanically exfoliated samples.
    Controlled synthesis of high quality atomically thin flakes is critical for their
    technological implementation but has not been achieved to date. Here, we report
    the growth of large CrCl3 flakes down to monolayer thickness via the physical
    vapor transport technique. Both isolated flakes with well-defined facets and long
    stripes of tri-layer samples with length exceeding 60 &micro;m have been obtained.
    High-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies show that the CrCl3 flakes
    are single crystalline in the monoclinic structure, consistent with the Raman
    results. The room temperature stability of the CrCl3 flakes decreases with decreasing
    thickness. The tunneling magnetoresistance of graphite/CrCl3/graphite tunnel junctions
    confirms that few-layer CrCl3 possesses in-plane magnetic anisotropy and Néel
    temperature of 17 K. Our study paves the path for developing CrCl3-based scalable
    2D spintronic applications.
