收藏资源简介:
Two-dimensional (2D) materials hold remarkable promise for high-density memory applications, yet precise modulation of interface properties in van der Waals (vdW) tunnel junctions remains a critical challenge. In this work, we systematically investigate the interface contact and charge transport properties of MAX$_3$-based vdW tunnel junctions (M= Mn, Ni; A= Si, Ge; X= S, Se). Our findings demonstrate that controlled sliding between atomic layers enables deterministic regulation of both the Schottky barrier height and magnetic moment orientation, driven by layer-dependent charge redistribution at selenium-terminated interfaces. First-principles calculations combined with non-equilibrium Green's function simulations reveal substantial improvements in tunneling resistance ($\sim$$6\times10^5$%) and tunneling magnetoresistance ($\sim$$10^{10}$%) achieved through interface engineering. These results provide a general strategy for tailoring quantum transport in 2D vdW heterostructures, offering a versatile platform for reconfigurable memory devices with atomic-scale precision.
