Fig. 2: Transport properties of WTe2/Fe3GeTe2 heterostructures.
From: Néel-type skyrmion in WTe2/Fe3GeTe2 van der Waals heterostructure

a Microscopic image of sample A (1L WTe2/4L Fe3GeTe2). Scale bar: 10 μm. b Increasing longitudinal resistivity when temperature goes down for sample A. c Hall resistivity of the heterostructure shown in (a). Hall resistivity shows a peak and dip near the transition edge before the magnetization saturates, which is a sign of the topological Hall effect. An offset is used for clarity. d Longitudinal resistivity dependence on the temperature, showing the metallic behavior when temperature decreases. Inset shows the microscopic image of sample B (2L WTe2/30L Fe3GeTe2). Scale bar: 10 μm. e Hall resistivity of the heterostructure shown in (d). An offset is used for clarity. Magnetic field is along out-of-plane direction.
