Science Daily August 10, 2023 Random noise in magnetic materials is of potential use in systems such as spiking neuron devices, random number generators and probability bits. An international team of researchers (South Korea, China, USA – Harvard University, Montana State University) has shown electrically tunable magnetic fluctuations and random telegraph noise in multilayered vanadium-doped tungsten diselenide (WSe2) using vertical tunnelling heterostructure devices composed of graphene/vanadium-doped WSe2/graphene and magnetoresistance measurements. They identified bistable magnetic states through discrete Gaussian peaks in the random telegraph noise histogram and the 1/f2 features of the noise power spectrum. Three categories of fluctuation were detected: […]
