In the quantum Hall regime of graphene, antiferromagnetic and spin-polarized ferromagnetic states at the zeroth Landau level compete, leading to a canted antiferromagnetic state depending on the direction and magnitude of an applied magnetic field. Here, we investigate this transition at 2.7 K in graphene Hall bars that are proximity coupled to the ferrimagnetic insulator Y3Fe5O12 . From nonlocal transport measurements, we demonstrate an induced magnetic exchange field in graphene, which lowers the magnetic field required to modulate the magnetic state in graphene. These results show that a magnetic proximity effect in graphene is an important ingredient for the development of two-dimensional materials in which it is desirable for ordered states of matter to be tunable with relatively small applied magnetic fields (>6 T).
