Abstract Heterostructures of van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnetic materials have become a focal point in research of low-dimensional spintronic devices. The current direction in spin valves is commonly perpendicular to the plane (CPP). However, the transport properties of the CPP mode remain largely unexplored. In this work, current-in-plane (CIP) mode and CPP mode for CrTe$_{2}$ thin films are carefully studied. The temperature-dependent longitudinal resistance transitions from metallic (CIP) to semiconductor behavior (CPP), with the electrical resistivity of CPP increased by five orders of magnitude. More importantly, the transport properties of the CPP can be categorized into a single-gap tunneling-through model with the activation energy ($E_{\rm a}$) of $\sim$ 1.34 meV/gap at 300-150 K, the variable range hopping model with a linear negative magnetoresistance at 150-20 K, and weak localization region with a nonlinear magnetic resistance below 20 K. This study explores the vertical transport in CrTe$_{2}$ materials for the first time, contributing to understand its unique properties and to pave the way for its potential in spin valve devices.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
