Spacer Layer in 2D Materials Optimized to Create Superior Electronic Interfaces

The fundamental principle of a spin valve is that the resistance is dependent on the parallel or antiparallel configurations of the two ferromagnetic electrodes, thus associating the magnetoresistance (MR) effect, whose basic structure consists of two ferromagnetic metals decoupled by the insertion of a non-magnetic spacer.
