Magnetic proximity effects in vdW heterostructures of layered materials

The van der Waals (vdW) based heterostructures of different layered materials have emerged as a modular solid-sate platform to engineer tunable properties in novel quantum systems. The vdW superlattices offer unprecedented flexibility to tune the interfacial interactions at the atomic scale to engineer spin related phenomena in two-dimensional (2D) materials. In this talk, we will present our preliminary results in the direction of probing magnetic proximity effects in vdW based heterostructures of 2D-magnetic systems and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). We will discuss the preparation of high-quality vdW interfaces of 2D-magnets and TMDs in controlled environment. The proximity induced magnetic correlations in otherwise non-magnetic TMDs are probed through variable temperature magneto-transport measurements and will be discussed in this talk.
