| contents | Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) multiferroics have emerged as a promising platform for next-generation multifunctional devices. Although recent studies have demonstrated that artificial heterostructures can combine dual ferroic orders and exhibit strong magnetoelectric coupling, their performance is sometimes limited by poor interface quality and inadequate long-term stability. By contrast, the realization of intrinsic single-phase materials with coexisting ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity remains a longstanding challenge in the field. Here we report the realization of a single-phase 2D vdW multiferroic system, CuIn0.2V0.8P2S6, which exhibits both ferromagnetism and room-temperature ferroelectricity. The intrinsic ferroelectric nature of CuIn0.2V0.8P2S6 was probed using ferroelectric tunnel junctions, which exhibit a large tunneling electroresistance with an ON/OFF ratio of 107 at 295 K. CuIn0.2V0.8P2S6 develops ferromagnetic ordering with the Curie temperature (TC) of 14.6 K, as evidenced by pronounced magnetic hysteresis and a relatively large remanent magnetization. Notably, the appearance of a magnetodielectric response below TC is consistent with the anticipated interplay between the ferromagnetic and ferroelectric orders. These results highlight a promising route toward single-phase van der Waals multiferroics with coexisting ferroic orders. |
