Abstract
We report the experimental discovery of intrinsic ferromagnetism in Cr 2 Ge 2 Te 6 atomic layers by scanning magneto-optic Kerr microscopy. In this 2D van der Waals ferromagnet, unprecedented control of transition temperature is realized via small magnetic fields.

Patterns and driving forces of dimensionality-dependent charge density waves in 2H-type transition metal dichalcogenides

TL;DR: In this paper, a general framework for 2D charge density wave (CDW) ordering in metal dichalcogenides has been proposed and experimentally shown to be the result of ionic charge transfer, electron-phonon coupling, and the spreading extension of the electronic wave functions.

Absence of Ferromagnetism or Antiferromagnetism in One- or Two-Dimensional Isotropic Heisenberg Models

TL;DR: In this paper, it is rigorously proved that at any nonzero temperature, a one- or two-dimensional isotropic spin-S$ Heisenberg model with finite-range exchange interaction can be neither ferromagnetic nor antiferromagnetic.

Half-metallic graphene nanoribbons

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if in-plane homogeneous electric fields are applied across the zigzag-shaped edges of the graphene nanoribbons, their magnetic properties can be controlled by the external electric fields.
