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.

Magnetic 2D materials and heterostructures

TL;DR: The difference between magnetic states in 2D materials and in bulk crystals is discussed and the range of new van der Waals heterostructures that became possible with the appearance of 2D magnets are offered, offering new perspectives in this rapidly expanding field.

Electric-field switching of two-dimensional van der Waals magnets.

TL;DR: The application of electric fields enables reversible switching of the magnetic order of CrI3 bilayers between antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic states and achieves a complete and reversible electrical switching between the interlayer AFM and FM states in the vicinity of the inter layer spin-flip transition.

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.

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.
