We focus on the atomically layered, Cr2N, one of the two-dimensional MXene phases Mn+1Xn (n = 1, 2, 3), which is recently grabbing attention due to a tunable bandgap, large/robust spin orbit coupling, a stable magnetic ground state, and stable half-metallic transport properties. Al2O3 sub.//Cr2N(5)/[Co(0.35)/Pt(0.3)]×3/MgO(2) was deposited, and its current-induced magnetization switching (CIMS) is investigated. We found full CIMS at Hx ≠ 0 kOe. However, the occurrence of CIMS at Hx = 0 kOe indicates that Cr2N MXene is effective for a field-free CIMS, which is unique to our results. Further, a detailed experimental result emphasizing the role of MXene will be presented in terms of two aspects, which are the booster layer for the self-induced spin-orbit torque and spin source.
