## Description

- description: Effective control of magnetic phases in two-dimensional (2D) van der
    Waals (vdW) magnets would constitute crucial progress in spintronics, which holds
    great potential for future computing technologies. Here, we report a new approach
    of leveraging tunneling current as a tool for control of spin configurations in
    few-layer CrI3. We reveal, for the first time, that a tunneling current can deterministically
    switch between spin-parallel and spin-antiparallel states in few-layer vdW magnets.
    We propose a mechanism involving nonequilibrium spin accumulation in the graphene
    electrodes. We further demonstrate tunneling current-tunable stochastic switching
    between multiple spin states, which goes beyond conventional bi-stable stochastic
    magnetic tunnel junctions and has not been previously documented in 2D vdW magnets.
    Our findings not only address the existing knowledge gap concerning the influence
    of tunneling currents in 2D vdW magnets, but also unlock possibilities for high
    density energy-efficient nanoscale logic gates and probabilistic and neuromorphic
    computing.
