Magnetic oxide films with a strong anomalous Hall effect (AHE) have attracted much attention due to their strong sensitivity and high polarization for magnetic sensor applications. However, the linearity of the anomalous Hall sensors still needs improving. In this work, we propose to use the interface regulation to improve the linearity of the AHE. We grow spinel ferrite CoFeO (CoFeO) thin films on MgAlO (MAO) substrates and alter their interfacial properties by inserting a graphene layer between the MAO substrate and the CoFeO film. Through a detailed structure and performance analysis, it reveals that the insertion of graphene has not broken the epitaxial nature of the films but endows the film with a nanopillar-like structure. A series of electrical tests show that the Hall resistance signal of our thin film system has high sensitivity and high linearity to the magnetic field. Reduced hysteresis and better linearity of the anomalous Hall resistance were found in the graphene-inserted heterostructure due to differences in the nanostructure and possibly interfacial coupling. These results suggest that interfacial engineering offers a pathway to tune the performance of ferrite thin film systems for sensor applications.

The magnetic, electronic, and topological properties of GdPtBi were systematically investigated using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Various magnetic configurations were examined, including ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) states, with particular focus on AFM states where the Gd magnetic moments align either parallel (AFM) or perpendicular (AFM) to the [111] crystal direction. For AFM, the in-plane angles were varied at = 0°, 15°, and 30° (denoted as AFM, AFM, and AFM, respectively).

Two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic materials are subjects of intense research owing to their intriguing physicochemical properties, which hold great potential for fundamental research and spintronic applications. Specifically, 2D van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnetic materials retain both structural integrity and chemical stability even at the monolayer level. Moreover, due to their atomic thickness, these materials can be easily manipulated by stacking them with other 2D vdW ferroic and nonferroic materials, enabling precise control over their physical properties and expanding their functional applications.

Magnetic Weyl semimetals (WSMs) have recently attracted much attention due to their potential in realizing strong anomalous Hall effects. Yet, how to design such systems remains unclear. Based on first-principles calculations, we show here that the ferromagnetic half-metallic compound InCoSehas several pairs of Weyl points and is hence a good candidate for magnetic WSM.

Moiré superlattices, created by stacking different van der Waals materials at twist angles, have emerged as a versatile platform for exploring intriguing phenomena such as topological properties, superconductivity, the quantum anomalous Hall effect, and the unconventional Stark effect. Additionally, the formation of moiré superlattice potential can generate spontaneous symmetry breaking, leading to an anisotropic optical response and electronic transport behavior. Herein, we propose a two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) strategy for synthesizing WS/SbS moiré superlattices.
