Uncompensated antiferromagnetic interfaces unlock new possibilities in van der Waals junctions

Unlike conventional ferromagnetic systems, antiferromagnets offer benefits such as zero stray fields and ultrafast dynamics. Using first-principles calculations, Yang et al. further discover that the uncompensated interface magnetization of antiferromagnetic electrodes leads to a significant tunneling magnetoresistance, offering new design principles for spintronic technologies.
