Abstract The generation and manipulation of spin polarization at room temperature are essential for 2D van der Waals (vdW) materials-based spin-photonic and spintronic applications. However, most of the high degree polarization is achieved at cryogenic temperatures, where the spin-valley polarization lifetime is increased. Here, we report on room temperature high-spin polarization in 2D layers by reducing its carrier lifetime via the construction of vdW heterostructures. A near unity degree of polarization is observed in PbI2 layers with the formation of type-I and type-II band aligned vdW heterostructures with monolayer WS2 and WSe2. We demonstrate that the spin polarization is related to the carrier lifetime and can be manipulated by the layer thickness, temperature, and excitation wavelength. We further elucidate the carrier dynamics and measure the polarization lifetime in these heterostructures. Our work provides a promising approach to achieve room temperature high-spin polarizations, which contribute to spin-photonics applications.

Secondary electron microscopy with polarization analysis (SEMPA), uses the spin polarization of the low energy secondary electrons to image the surface magnetization of a magnetic sample. However, many systems of interest to the magnetic recording industry have a low secondary electron spin polarization. This is because, either the material’s magnetization is low, or because surface treatments have reduced the spin polarization. The low spin polarized contrast from these samples means that detailed study of the characteristics of a recorded field is very time consuming. Typically tens of minutes are needed to collect a single image that may cover a very small part of a sample. As a result, it is difficult to provide sufficient information over the range of length scales needed to characterize the magnetic distribution.One method by which the problem of low spin polarized contrast may be overcome, is to use an overlayer with a high spin polarization. This film must be thin, and magnetically soft to minimize any change in the sample’s magnetization. Pure Fe films appear suitable, and high spin polarized contrast can be observed in nanometer thick fims of Fe.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials with fully spin-polarized nodal-loop band crossing are a class of topological magnetic materials, holding promise for high-speed low-dissipation spintronic devices. Recently, several 2D nodal-loop materials have been...
