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.

Ultrathin Magnetic 2D Single-Crystal CrSe

TL;DR: The controlled synthesis of ultrathin CrSe crystals, with grain size reaching the sub-millimeter scale, on mica substrates via an ambient pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is demonstrated, demonstrating obvious ferromagnetic properties at temperatures below 280 K, which has not been observed experimentally before.

Anomalous thickness dependence of Curie temperature in air-stable two-dimensional ferromagnetic 1T-CrTe2 grown by chemical vapor deposition

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported chemical vapor deposition growth of air-stable 2D metallic 1T-CrTe2 ultrathin crystals with controlled thickness and showed that the easy axis changes from in-plane to out-of-plane Monotonic increase of Curie temperature with the thickness decreasing from ~1300 to ~76 nm.

Interplay between Kitaev interaction and single ion anisotropy in ferromagnetic CrI$_3$ and CrGeTe$_3$ monolayers

TL;DR: In this article, a simple Hamiltonian was developed to investigate magnetic anisotropy of CrI$_3$ and CrGeTe$3$ monolayers and the anisotropic exchange coupling in both systems was surprisingly determined to be of Kitaev-type.

Strong magnetization and Chern insulators in compressed graphene / CrI 3 van der Waals heterostructures

TL;DR: Huang et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the van der Waals (vdW) gap can be compressed to a distance between about 3.3 and 2.4 \AA{, corresponding to a required external pressure between about 1.4 and 18.3 GPa.

Chemical synthesis of two-dimensional atomic crystals, heterostructures and superlattices

TL;DR: To explore the full potential of 2DACs requires a robust synthesis of these atomically thin materials and scalable construction of complex heterostructures with designed spatial modulation of chemical compositions and electronic structures.

The rise of graphene

TL;DR: Owing to its unusual electronic spectrum, graphene has led to the emergence of a new paradigm of 'relativistic' condensed-matter physics, where quantum relativistic phenomena can now be mimicked and tested in table-top experiments.

QUANTUM ESPRESSO: a modular and open-source software project for quantum simulations of materials

TL;DR: QUANTUM ESPRESSO as discussed by the authors is an integrated suite of computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling, based on density functional theory, plane waves, and pseudopotentials (norm-conserving, ultrasoft, and projector-augmented wave).

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.
