Book excerpt: The magnetic proximity effect (MPE) has generated a lot of interest recently due to its ability to introduce magnetic order into otherwise non-magnetic systems. It can be realized in 2D material stacks as well as inside 3D material thin film heterostructure. The work in this thesis explores MPE inside a variety of heterostructures using multiple measurement techniques. It demonstrates the first realization of MPE inside a thin film of Pt from a ferrimagnetic insulator CoFe2O4. Next, it experimentally demonstrates a novel growth method for synthesizing high quality thin films of topological Dirac semimetal Na3Bi on Al2O3 substrate, and further extends this growth method to synthesize the first topological Dirac semimetal/magnetic insulator heterostructure of Na3Bi/CoFe2O4. Finally, it lays the groundwork for ambitious studies of MPE inside 2D material/magnetic insulator heterostructures using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. This is accomplished by a new process of transferring flakes of 2D materials on top of freshly deposited thin films while inside an ultra-high vacuum environment.
