Electrically Tunable, Rapid Spin-Orbit Torque Induced Modulation of Colossal Magnetoresistance in MnSiTe Nanoflakes.

As a quasi-layered ferrimagnetic material, MnSiTe nanoflakes exhibit magnetoresistance behavior that is fundamentally different from their bulk crystal counterparts. They offer three key properties crucial for spintronics. First, at least 10 times faster response compared to that exhibited by bulk crystals has been observed in current-controlled resistance and magnetoresistance.
