SUTD researchers, in collaboration with institutions in China and Vietnam, developed a novel 2D multiferroic van der Waals heterostructure (vdWH) to advance ultracompact memory and spintronic devices. By stacking FeCl2 and Sc2CO2 monolayers, the team created a material with voltage-switchable magnetism, ideal for energy-efficient computing and memory storage applications. The innovative vdWH structure can serve as a foundation for high-performance, low-energy electronic devices, especially in spintronic applications. This breakthrough enables ultrafast computation with minimal energy usage, contributing to sustainable electronics. These findings provide a roadmap for further experimental fabrication and spintronic technology development.
