Abstract
In this paper, we fabricated graphene/Fe3O4 heterostructure devices by stacking monolayer graphene on magnetite (Fe3O4) substrate and investigated their magneto-transport properties. Interestingly, graphene/Fe3O4 heterostructure devices exhibit a giant magnetoresistance (MR) of 70% at a low magnetic field of 0.65[Formula: see text]T and at 11[Formula: see text]K, which is three times greater than that of graphene on SiO2. Based on standard two-fluid model and LDA[Formula: see text]U simulation, we showed that the observed enhanced MR effect is due to the increased disorder in graphene induced through the charge polarization via the alignment of C atoms of graphene over the charge ordered B-site cations of Fe3O4. Our results demonstrate a potential way to enhance graphene MR effect through coupling graphene with a suitable substrate with charge orbital ordering.
