| Outline of Research at the Start |
Symmetry engineering is a simple but pioneering way to play with the symmetry of van der Waals materials. In my research, we want to demonstrate it by a magnet/magnet interface CrSBr/CrPS4 to create in-plane polarization by non-collinear spin structure at this interface, which is so-called artificial "multiferroics".
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In the past year, I focused on the research of magnet/magnet interface to study the non-collinear spin structure in 2D magnets. First, I studied the combination of CrSBr/CrPS4 to create the in-plane and out-of-plane spin structure, but it didn’t work well. Then I changed to CrI3/CrCl3 interface combination, and primitive data to prove the non-collinear spins has been collected. Further experiments are on-going and paper writing will start after more data is obtained. Besides, a paper on 2D multiferroic material CuCrP2S6 is published in Advance Materials, and I was listed as the second author.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
In the past year, I first spent several month on device fabrication and measurement system upgrade. Now, my lab is capable to handle air-sensitive CrI3 and CrCl3 to make interface. After fabricating several monolayer CrI3/ few layer CrCl3 interface sample, I have accumulated much experiences on handling them. Also, primitive data to understand the physics in this interface is obtained. Now, we have develop a general story line for the non-collinear spins in CrI3/CrCl3. The next step is to collect high quality data from more CrI3/CrCl3 samples. To conclude, I think my project is carrying on as planned.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
My plan for this year's research is to finish the CrI3/CrCl3 interface project. It is the spin engineering work based on 2D magnets. The non-collinear spin can lead to polarization by the inverse DM interaction. After this interface project, I want to focus on CrSBr, another novel 2D magnets stable in air. CrSBr also shows interesting magnetic phase transition (from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic phase) under an uniaxial strain. I want to realize non-collinear spin structure in CrSBr by applying a non-uniform strain. This project will be a carry-on work for both the research of non-collinear spins and strain engineering.
