Two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials are promising candidates for spintronics and quantum technologies. One extensively studied example is the ferromagnetic (FM) CrI$_3$ monolayer with the honeycomb Cr$^{3+}$ ($t_{2g}^3$, $S$ = 3/2) spin…
Mn5Ge3 thin films epitaxially grown on Ge(111) exhibit metallic conductivity and strong ferromagnetism up to about 300 K. Recent experiments suggest a non-collinear spin structure. In order to gain deep insights into the magnetic structure…
Recent discoveries in two-dimensional (2D) magnetism have intensified the investigation of van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials and further improved our ability to tune their magnetic properties. Tunable magnetism has been widely studied…
