On April 16, a research team led by Professor Wang Yayu and Associate Professor Zhang Jinsong from the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University published groundbreaking findings in the prestigious journal Nature. The team innovated a new device structure and unveiled the modulatory impact of antiferromagnetic spin arrangement on the quantum anomalous Hall effect within a 9-nanometer MnBi2Te4 flake. Remarkably, they discovered for the first time that an in-plane magnetic field can amplify this effect. This research not only overcomes the limitations of MnBi2Te4 device quality but also lays a crucial foundation for the advancement of future low-power electronic devices and the application of quantum technologies.
