Here, we report multiple-spin-filter magnetic tunnel junctions (sf-MTJs) based on van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures in which atomically thin chromium triiodide (CrI3) acts as a spin-filter tunnel ...

Researchers have discovered that chromium selenide (Cr 2 Se 3)—traditionally non-magnetic in bulk form—transforms into a magnetic material when reduced to atomically thin layers. This finding ...

The rising demand for thin coatings in the automotive industry is one of the major trends being witnessed in the global automotive chromium market. Automotive manufacturers use thin coatings to ...

Meanwhile, electroplating a thin layer of chromium atop another metal produces what is commonly known as chrome plating—think Harley-Davidson motorcycles, or hot-rod cars. Chrome can reflect as ...

retains its magnetic properties in atomically thin layers if it is 'sandwiched' between two layers of a different ceramic oxide, lanthanum strontium chromium oxide (LSCO). Researchers at North ...

M n+1 AX n phase materials, commonly shortened to MAX, have garnered a lot of attention recently, mainly due to their outstanding mechanical, corrosion, stability and conductivity properties. From ...

These elements react with oxygen from water and air to form a very thin, stable film that consists of such corrosion products as metal oxides and hydroxides. Chromium plays a dominant role in ...
