TL;DR: Large tunneling magnetoresistance is reported through exfoliated CrI3 crystals and its evolution is attributed to the multiple transitions to different magnetic states, demonstrating the presence of a strong coupling between transport and magnetism in magnetic van der Waals semiconductors.

TL;DR: This work shows that with a tungsten disulfide (WS2) substrate, the strength of the spin–orbit interaction (SOI) in graphene is very strongly enhanced, which leads to a pronounced low-temperature weak anti-localization effect and a spin-relaxation time two to three orders of magnitude smaller than in graphene on conventional substrates.

TL;DR: In this article, single-spin magnetometry based on diamond nitrogen-vacancy centers was used to image the magnetization, localized defects, and magnetic domains of atomically thin crystals of the vdW magnet chromium(III) iodide (CrI3).

TL;DR: Low-temperature anomalous Hall effect measurements show that thin Fe3GeTe2 crystals are metallic ferromagnets with an easy axis perpendicular to the layers and a very sharp magnetization switching at magnetic field values that depends slightly on their geometry, which suggests that the magnetic properties of the surface are representative of those of the bulk, as may be expected for vdW materials.

TL;DR: Scanning single-spin magnetometry based on diamond nitrogen-vacancy centers is used to image the magnetization, localized defects, and magnetic domains of atomically thin crystals of the vdW magnet chromium(III) iodide (CrI3).
