Abstract

Abstract The absence of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnetic crystals with both above-room-temperature strong intrinsic ferromagnetism and large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) severely hinders practical applications of 2D vdW crystals in next-generation low-power magnetoelectronic and spintronic devices. Here, we report a vdW intrinsic ferromagnetic crystal Fe 3 GaTe 2 that exhibits record-high above-room-temperature Curie temperature ( Tc , ~350-380 K) for known 2D vdW intrinsic ferromagnets, high saturation magnetic moment (40.11 emu/g), large PMA energy density (~4.79 × 10 5 J/m 3 ), and large anomalous Hall angle (3%) at room temperature. Such large room-temperature PMA is better…
