Magnetic topological insulators (MTIs), which integrate both topology and magnetism within one system, have greatly broadened the research scope of quantum materials and spintronics. In contrast to the traditional magnetic atom doping method, MTI heterostructures, which can be realized by the combination of a topological insulator and a high-temperature magnetic material, have unique advantages. I...
