Data from: Field-free deterministic switching of all-van der Waals spin-orbit torque system above room temperature

Two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials hold promise for
the development of high-density, energy-efficient spintronic devices for
memory and computation. Recent breakthroughs in material discoveries and
spin-orbit torque (SOT) control of vdW ferromagnets have opened a path for
integration of vdW magnets in commercial spintronic devices. However, a
solution for field-free electric control of perpendicular magnetic
anisotropy (PMA) vdW magnets at room temperatures, essential for building
compact and thermally stable spintronic devices, is still missing. Here,
we report a solution for the field-free, deterministic and non-volatile
switching of a PMA vdW ferromagnet, Fe3GaTe2 above room temperature (up to
320 K). We use the unconventional out-of-plane anti-damping torque from an
adjacent WTe2 layer to enable such switching with a low current density of
2.23 × 106 A cm-2. This study exemplifies the efficacy of low-symmetry vdW
materials for spin-orbit torque control of vdW ferromagnets and provides
an all-vdW solution for the next generation of scalable and
energy-efficient spintronic devices.
