   abstract = {Two-dimensional materials that combine ferroelectric and ferromagnetic orders could exhibit a range of exotic physical properties and find use in applications such as energy-efficient spintronics. However, long-range ferroic orders in two dimensions are prone to destruction. For example, depolarization fields can destabilize ferroelectric order and thermal fluctuations can suppress magnetic order. Here we report multiferroic van der Waals heterostructures made from atomic layers of ferroelectric CuCrP2S6 and ferromagnetic Fe3GeTe2. We demonstrate reversible, non-volatile ferroelectric control of the magnetic anisotropy of two-dimensional Fe3GeTe2, and with this, probe the interferroic magnetoelectric coupling. Polarization switching of CuCrP2S6 changes the magnetic coercivity of a 3.8-nm-thick Fe3GeTe2 layer by approximately 14 mT at a testing temperature of 153 K, with a control efficiency around 65%. The control efficiency decreases as the Fe3GeTe2 thickness increases due to the short-range interfacial magnetoelectric coupling of the heterostructure multiferroicity.},
