Abstract The ${\alpha}$-GeTe is a typical ferroelectric Rashba semiconductor (FERSC) that has attracted a lot of attention in spintronics. The Fe/${\alpha}$-GeTe grown on Si substrates has anisotropic Gilbert damping. However, the effect of Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$, as another common substrate, remains unknown when ${\alpha}$-GeTe is grown on it. Here, we fabricated $\alpha $-GeTe thin films using Al$_{2}$O$_{3 }$ substrates. The ${\alpha}$-GeTe directly grown on Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ exhibits an in-plane polycrystalline structure. A Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ buffer layer can make the ${\alpha}$-GeTe exhibit a single-crystal feature. The anisotropic Gilbert damping of FM layers is present in Fe/${\alpha}$-GeTe/Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$/Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ and vanished in Fe/${\alpha }$-GeTe/Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$. Our finding illustrates that ${\alpha }$-GeTe growth on Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ with a Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ buffer layer can serve as a suitable platform for anisotropic research. Our work paves the way for the application of the Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$-based ${\alpha}$-GeTe thin films in anisotropic electronics.

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.
