Study discovers non-reciprocal antisymmetric transport behavior in natural van der Waals ferromagnetic material

According to a study published in ACS Nano, a research team has revealed a novel non-reciprocal antisymmetric magnetoresistance and unconventional Hall effect in a two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnetic Fe5-xGeTe2, which may originate from the asynchronous magnetization switching of the magnetic domains.
