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

Skyrmion dynamics in moir\'e magnets
TL;DR: In this article , a twisted magnetic bilayer subject to the perpendicular electric field is considered and the interplay of induced Dzyaloshinskii - Moriya interaction and spatially varying moir\'e exchange potential results in complex non-collinear magnetic phases in these structures.

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.

Crystal statistics. I. A two-dimensional model with an order-disorder transition
TL;DR: In this article, the eigenwert problem involved in the corresponding computation for a long strip crystal of finite width, joined straight to itself around a cylinder, is solved by direct product decomposition; in the special case $n=\ensuremath{\infty}$ an integral replaces a sum.
