Controlled large non-reciprocal charge transport in an intrinsic magnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4
Abstract
Non-reciprocal charge transport refers to the different resistance between positive and negative current, and is fundamental in a variety of applications, for instance, current rectification. Some materials exhibit intrinsic nonreciprocal transport, but manipulation of this can be challenging. Here, the authors demonstrate large non-reciprocal transport which can be switched magnetically, is stacking dependent, and can be tuned via an applied gate voltage.
