Unconventional Spin–Orbit Torques by 2D Multilayered MXenes for Future Nonvolatile Magnetic Memories
Small, EarlyView.MXene is a recent 2D material with practical functionalities. In this study, Cr2N, a bare MXene is employed in the nonvolatile memory device as a source of spin–orbit torques. Field‐free current‐induced robust magnetization switching is demonstrated, suggesting the specific characteristics for the MXene that is not realized by the other 2D materials ...
