We demonstrate the potential of van der Waals magnets for spintronic applications by reporting long-distance magnon spin transport in the electrically insulating antiferromagnet chromium thiophosphate (CrPS 4 ) with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. We inject and detect magnon spins nonlocally by Pt contacts and monitor the nonlocal resistance as a function of an in-plane magnetic field up to 7 T. We observe a nonlocal resistance over distances up to at least a micron below the Néel temperature (T N = 38 K) close to magnetic field strengths that saturate the sublattice magnetizations.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
