The electrical control of topological magnetic structures is an important research topic in spintronics applications. We recently discovered that van der Waals ferromagnetic Cr3Te4 thin films exhibit the topological Hall effect (THE) at room temperature and zero magnetic field after heat treatment. In this study, we found that electrochemical Li intercalation of the Cr3Te4 thin films that exhibit THE enables complete switching between the THE phase and the ferromagnetic phase. In this presentation, we will discuss the details and physical origin of this phenomenon.
