Description:

(abstract)

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals magnets are promising materials for various spintronics applications.1 In particular, 2D antiferromagnetic materials are of significant interest as they are robust with the application of external magnetic field, and allow for faster writing frequencies compared to ferromagnets.2 However, the lack of macroscopic magnetization significantly complicates their studies, and thus magneto-electrical measurements are proposed for detection and control of magnetic order.2 Additionally, the majority of 2D van der Waals magnets are ambient reactive and insulating, which significantly complicates the device fabrication and limits the device geometry to two-terminal tunneling devices. In this manuscript, we propose a protocol for fabricating devices out of the ambient reactive antiferromagnet NiI2, revealing gate-tunable semiconducting transport down to 1.7 K. This enabled the electrical detection of the multiferroic phase transition down to monolayer thickness. The fabrication of ambient stable NiI2 Hall-bar devices facilitated characterization of low temperature magnetotransport, revealing anisotropic magnetoresistance.
