Room temperature magnetic vortices in the van der Waals magnet Fe5GeTe2

Florentin Fabre

Résumé

We investigate the effect of confinement on the magnetic state of a 12−n⁢m-thick Fe5GeTe2 layer grown by molecular beam epitaxy. We use quantitative scanning nitrogen-vacancy magnetometry to locally extract the magnetization in rectangular uniformly in-plane magnetized microstructures, showing no enhancement of the Curie temperature compared to magnetization measurements performed before patterning the film, in contrast to previous results obtained on thick Fe3GeTe2 flakes. Under the application of a weak out-of-plane magnetic field, we observe the stabilization of magnetic vortices at room temperature in micrometric squares. Finally, we highlight the effect of the size of the patterned microdisks and microsquares on the stabilization of the vortices using experiments and micromagnetic simulations. Our work thus proposes and demonstrates a way to stabilize noncollinear textures at room temperature in a van der Waals magnet using confinement.
