Various noncollinear spin textures and magnetic phases have been predicted in twisted two-dimensional CrI$_3$ due to competing ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) interlayer exchange from moir\'e stacking - with potential…
In a stack of atomically-thin Van der Waals layers, introducing interlayer twist creates a moir\'e superlattice whose period is a function of twist angle. Changes in that twist angle of even hundredths of a degree can dramatically transform…
