Proximity effects of ultrathin α-RuCl<sub>3</sub> on charge transport in graphene

ORAL

Abstract

Kitaev spin liquids can potentially be utilized in fault-tolerant topological quantum computing, while α-RuCl3 is a promising candidate to host the Kitaev spin interactions. We study the evolution of magnetic states in this material in proximity with graphene by examining the charge transfer within such heterostructures. We use ultrathin layers of α-RuCl3 to minimize electrostatic screening.
