Abstract

Topological Hall effect (THE) has been used as a powerful tool to unlock spin chirality in novel magnetic materials. Recent focus has been widely paid to THE and possible chiral spin textures in two-dimensional (2D) layered magnetic materials. However, the room-temperature THE has been barely reported in 2D materials, which hinders its practical applications in 2D spintronics. In this paper, we report a possible THE signal featuring antisymmetric peaks in a wide temperature window up to 320 K in Cr1.2Te2, a new quasi-2D ferromagnetic material. The temperature, thickness, and magnetic field dependences of the THE lead to potential spin chirality origin that is associated with the spin canting under external magnetic fields. Our work holds promise for practical applications in future chiral spin-based vdW spintronic devices.
