Magnetism in two-dimensional van der Waals materials.
TLDR
These cleavable materials provide the ideal platform for exploring magnetism in the two-dimensional limit, where new physical phenomena are expected, and represent a substantial shift in the authors' ability to control and investigate nanoscale phases.Abstract:
The discovery of materials has often introduced new physical paradigms and enabled the development of novel devices. Two-dimensional magnetism, which is associated with strong intrinsic spin fluctuations, has long been the focus of fundamental questions in condensed matter physics regarding our understanding and control of new phases. Here we discuss magnetic van der Waals materials: two-dimensional atomic crystals that contain magnetic elements and thus exhibit intrinsic magnetic properties. These cleavable materials provide the ideal platform for exploring magnetism in the two-dimensional limit, where new physical phenomena are expected, and represent a substantial shift in our ability to control and investigate nanoscale phases. We present the theoretical background and motivation for investigating this class of crystals, describe the material landscape and the current experimental status of measurement techniques as well as devices, and discuss promising future directions for the study of magnetic van der Waals materials.read more

Pressure-controlled interlayer magnetism in atomically thin CrI3.
Tingxin Li,Shengwei Jiang,Nikhil Sivadas,Zefang Wang,Yang Xu,Daniel Weber,Joshua E. Goldberger,Kenji Watanabe,Takashi Taniguchi,Craig J. Fennie,Kin Fai Mak,Jie Shan +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, pressure-induced changes in the magnetic order of atomically thin van der Waals crystals are revealed and attributed to changes in stacking arrangement, and the interlayer ferromagnetic ground state is established in bulk CrI3 but not observed in native exfoliated thin films.

Van der Waals heterostructures
TL;DR: With steady improvement in fabrication techniques and using graphene’s springboard, van der Waals heterostructures should develop into a large field of their own.

Ordering, metastability and phase transitions in two-dimensional systems
TL;DR: In this article, a new definition of order called topological order is proposed for two-dimensional systems in which no long-range order of the conventional type exists, and the possibility of a phase transition characterized by a change in the response of the system to an external perturbation is discussed in the context of a mean field type of approximation.
