Field-effect proximity exchange coupling in bilayer graphene on ferromagnetic insulator — •Klaus Zollner, Martin Gmitra, and Jaroslav Fabian — Institute for Theoretical Physics, Regensburg, Germany

Graphene can be made magnetic by proximity effect through ferromagnetic substrates. We show, by realistic first-principles calculations, that bilayer graphene on Cr2X2Te6, a family of ferromagnetic insulators that can be exfoliated in single layers (X = Si and Ge), experiences a layer dependent proximity exchange effect [1]. Due to short range of this proximity effect and the intrinsic layer dependent formation of low energy bands in bilayer graphene, only the valence band gets spin split. In addition, we apply realistic electric fields across the heterostructure, to tune the potential energy of the bilayers and find that we can switch electron and hole bands, along with the exchange splitting. With that we predict fully electrically tunable magnetism for transport carriers, which opens a vast field of proximity spintronics.
