A recent study published in the journal Nature Communications focuses on how protons move in the confined water films between MXene layers, which enables charge transportation. The findings from this study could help to improve the performance of MXenes as energy storage materials.
Manipulating the exchange bias (EB) effect using an electronic gate is a significant goal in spintronics. The emergence of van der Waals (vdW) magnetic heterostructures has provided improved means to study interlayer magnetic coupling, but to date, these heterostructures have not exhibited electrical gate-controlled EB effects. Here, we report electrically controllable EB effects in a vdW heterostructure, FePS3-Fe5GeTe2. By applying a solid protonic gate, the EB effects were repeatably electrically tuned. The EB field reaches up to 23% of the coercivity and the blocking temperature ranges from...
