Abstract

We demonstrate the potential of van der Waals magnets for spintronic applications by reporting long-distance magnon spin transport in the electrically insulating antiferromagnet chromium thiophosphate (CrPS4) with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. We inject and detect magnon spins nonlocally by Pt contacts and monitor the nonlocal resistance as a function of an in-plane magnetic field up to 7 T. We observe a nonlocal resistance over distances up to at least a micron below the Néel temperature (TN=38 K) close to magnetic field strengths that saturate the sublattice magnetizations.
