The coupling between van der Waals-layered magnetic and superconducting materials holds the possibility of revealing novel physical mechanisms and realizing spintronic devices with new functionalities. Here, we report on the realization and investigation of a maximum â¼17-fold magnetoresistance (MR) enhancement based on a vertical magnetic tunnel junction of Fe3GeTe2 (FGT)/NbSe2/FGT near the NbSe2 layer's superconducting critical temperature (TC) of 6.8 K. This enhancement is attributed to the band splitting in the atomically thin NbSe2 spacer layer induced by the magnetic proximity effect on the material interfaces. However, the band splitting is strongly suppressed by the interlayer coupling in the thick NbSe2 layer. Correspondingly, the device with a thick NbSe2 layer displays no MR increase near TC but a current dependent on transport properties at extremely low temperatures. This work carefully investigates the mechanism of MR enhancement, paving an efficient way for the modulation of spintronics' properties and the achievement of spin-based integrated circuits.
