Quantum tunneling devices incorporating two-dimensional magnetic semiconductors

Abstract

Research in two-dimensional (2D) materials has experienced rapid growth in the past few years. In particular, various layered compounds exhibiting quantum phenomena, such as superconductivity and magnetism, have been isolated in atomically thin form, often in spite of their chemical instability. The nature of the 2D phases can be different than their bulk counterparts, making such systems attractive for fundamental studies. Owing to their high crystallinity and absence of dangling bonds, devices and heterostructures incorporating these materials may also show performance exceeding that of traditional films. In this roadmap article, we focus on a few recent developments in spin-based quantum devices utilizing the 2D magnetic semiconductor, CrI${}_3$.
