Here, we examine the resistive switching (RS) behavior in growth-controlled HfO2/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) heterostructures and their tunability in a low magnetic field. It is demonstrated that oxygen-deficient HfO2 films show bipolar switching with a high on/off ratio, stable retention, as well as good endurance owing to the orthorhombic-rich phase constitution and charge (de)trapping-enabled Schottky-type conduction. Most importantly, we have demonstrated that RS can be tuned by a very low externally applied magnetic field (similar to 0-30 mT). Remarkably, application of a magnetic field of 30 mT causes RS to be fully quenched and frozen in the high resistive state (HRS) even after the removal of the magnetic field. However, the quenched state could be resurrected by applying a higher bias voltage than the one for initial switching. This is argued to be a consequence of the electronically and ionically ``active'' nature of the HfO2-x/LSMO interface on both sides and its susceptibility to the electric and low magnetic field effects. This result could pave the way for new designs of interface-engineered high-performance oxitronic ReRAM devices.10acharge trapping-detrapping10alow external magnetic field10aoxide-oxide interface10apulsed laser deposition10aresistive switching10aSchottky barrier1 aAntad, Vivek1 aShaikh, Parvez, A.1 aBiswas, Abhijit1 aRajput, Shatruhan, Singh1 aDeo, Shrinivas1 a1 aPatil, Shivprasad1 aOgale, Satishchandra uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/resistive-switching-hfo2-xla067sr033mno3-heterostructures-intriguing-case-low-h-field04277nas a2200157 4500008004100000245008300041210006900124260000800193490000600201520372100207100002503928700001603953700002003969700002303989856010704012 2025 eng d00aReview on recent progress in synthesis, properties, and applications of MXenes0 aReview on recent progress in synthesis properties and applicatio cDEC0 v53 a

Abstract

MXenes, a noble class of two-dimensional (2D) material, discovered in 2011 have gained attention in recent years. They have attracted significant attention due to their flexible elemental composition, distinctive 2D-layered architecture, large surface area, and abundant surface terminations. Top-down synthesis techniques such as HF etching, alkaline etching, and electrochemical methods are used for MXene synthesis. Alongside these methods, methods like chemical vapor deposition (CVD), template method and plasma enhanced pulsed layer deposition (PELPD) are also used for the thin-film synthesis of MXenes. The discovery of double transition-metal layered MXene, solid, and high entropy MXene open up the prospect of further novel structures. MXenes are electrically conductive and have promising optoelectronic, mechanical, and thermoelectric properties. MXenes have also shown immense potential in biomedicine and environmental applications. The surface chemistry of MXene make them ideal for biosensors, drug delivery, and photothermal therapy, while their photocatalytic and adsorption properties enable efficient removal of pollutants and contaminants from water. This review examines the various MAX phase synthesis methods, such as solid-state reactions, hot isostatic pressing, and spark plasma sintering, followed by top-down techniques like HF etching, alkaline etching, and electrochemical etching, as well as bottom-up methods like CVD, template approaches, and plasma-enhanced pulsed layer deposition. The review also looks into the optical, chemical, and electronic properties of MXene, as well as their advancements in energy storage, optoelectronics, pollution avoidance, biomedical applications, and more.
