Abstract

Among two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials, Fe₃GeTe₂ (FGT), a 2D vdW ferromagnetic material, has gained significant interest due to its high Curie temperature and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Despite the difficulties in fabricating high-quality crystals, the flux-assisted growth (FAG) method has recently emerged as a promising technique for synthesizing 2D vdW materials. In this study, we employed the FAG method to fabricate crystalline FGT nanosheets under varied growth parameters. Magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) measurements revealed that the FGT nanosheets exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with a Curie temperature of 222 K. Additionally, the MOKE data indicate the presence of exchange bias phenomena, likely due to the FeO phase associated with oxidized FGT surface. These findings enhance our understanding of the fundamental physics of FGT nanosheets and contribute to the advancement of diverse 2D magnetic device applications.

期刊介绍： Current Applied Physics (Curr. Appl. Phys.) is a monthly published international journal covering all the fields of applied science investigating the physics of the advanced materials for future applications. Other areas covered: Experimental and theoretical aspects of advanced materials and devices dealing with synthesis or structural chemistry, physical and electronic properties, photonics, engineering applications, and uniquely pertinent measurement or analytical techniques. Current Applied Physics, published since 2001, covers physics, chemistry and materials science, including bio-materials, with their engineering aspects. It is a truly interdisciplinary journal opening a forum for scientists of all related fields, a unique point of the journal discriminating it from other worldwide and/or Pacific Rim applied physics journals. Regular research papers, letters and review articles with contents meeting the scope of the journal will be considered for publication after peer review. The Journal is owned by the Korean Physical Society.
