Description
Characterized by the layered structures and weak interlayer interactions, van-der-Waals quasi-2D materials mark a significant milestone in the field of spintronics due to their unique electronic and magnetic properties. Incorporating multiferroicity, these materials exhibit highly-manipulative properties, allowing the exploration of new quantum phenomena and the potential for revolutionary advances in low-power,
non-volatile devices. CuCrP₂S₆, one of the van-der-Waals multiferroic materials, has ignited our curiosity. Here, we use high-resolution resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) to probe its electronic excitations across the transition temperature 32K, 145K and 190 K. Photon energy- and polarization-dependent RIXS results of CuCrP₂S₆ will be presented and discussed.
