“…[10,11,12,13] Among various fantastic candidates, cobalt telluride (Co x Te y ) widely reputed as star catalysts for hydrogen/oxygen evolution reactions, [14,15] water splitting, [16] photo-/electro-catalytic chemistry, [17,18,19] and even energy storage devices, [20,21] was re-recognized with tunable ferromagnetism and paramagnetism and is potential for memory and spintronic devices. [22,23,24,25] Differentiating from traditional vdW magnets, the stoichiometric ratio of Co and Te varies from (1+𝛿):1 to 1:2 and the variation of crystal structure effectively modulates the band structure of Co x Te y from type-II Dirac semimetallic (1T-CoTe 2 ) to semiconducting (bandgap ≈2.5 eV, CoTe). [26,27,28] This extra degree of freedom enables Co x Te y taking centerstage for exploring spin fluctuation and other new physical paradigms.…”
