image of a 5.8 nm-thick Fe3GeTe2 (B)123 and a 28 nm-thick Fe5GeTe2 (C)87 flake contacted from the bottom
with prepatterned metal electrodes. In (B) the red dashed line is
the Fe3GeTe2 and the yellow dashed line is the
hBN. The red scale bar is 10 μm.123 In (C) the scale bar is 20 μm.87 Panel (B) was adapted with permission from ref (123). Copyright 2018 Springer
