Monolayer chromium trihalides, the archetypal two dimensional (2D) magnetic materials, are readily suggested as a promising platform for high frequency magnonics. Here we detail the spin wave properties of monolayer CrBr$_3$ and CrI$_3$,…
Although chromium trihalides are widely regarded as a promising class of two-dimensional magnets for next-generation devices, an accurate description of their electronic structure and magnetic interactions has proven challenging to achieve.…
Recent experiments evidence the direct observation of spin waves in chromium trihalides and a gap at the Dirac points of the magnon dispersion in bulk CrI$_3$. However, the topological origin of this feature remains unclear and its…
We present the electronic and magnetic structure calculations of VCl3, VBr3, CrCl3 and CrBr3. The results are obtained by density functional theory with plane wave basis sets. The trihalides generally optimize either in trigonal or…
We present first principles calculations of the two-particle excitation spectrum of CrI$_3$ using many-body perturbation theory including spin-orbit coupling. Specifically, we solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation, which is equivalent to…
The discovery of spontaneous magnetism in van der Waal (vdW) magnetic monolayers has opened up an unprecedented platform for investigating magnetism in purely two-dimensional systems. Recently, it has been shown that the magnetic properties…
We explore the electronic band structure of free standing monolayers of chromium trihalides, CrX\textsubscript{3}{, X= Cl, Br, I}, within an advanced \emph{ab-initio} theoretical approach based in the use of Green's function functionals. We…
We conduct a comprehensive study of three different magnetic semiconductors, CrI$_3$, CrBr$_3$, and CrCl$_3$, by incorporating both few- and bi-layer samples in van der Waals tunnel junctions. We find that the interlayer magnetic ordering,…
Recent observation of intrinsic ferromagnetism in two-dimensional (2D) CrI$_3$ is associated with the large magnetic anisotropy due to strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of I. Magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) defines the stability of…
Modeling spin-wave (magnon) dynamics in novel materials is important to advance spintronics and spin-based quantum technologies. The interactions between magnons and lattice vibrations (phonons) limit the length scale for magnon transport.…
Two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb ferromagnets, such as monolayer chromium-trihalides, are predicted to behave as topological magnon insulators - characterized by an insulating bulk and topologically protected edge states, giving rise to a…
Two-dimensional magnetic materials provide an ideal platform to explore collective many-body excitations associated with spin fluctuations. In particular, it should be feasible to explore, manipulate and ultimately design magnonic…
Chromium trihalides, CrX$_3$ (with X = Cl, Br, I), are a family of layered magnetic materials that can be easily exfoliated to provide ferromagnetic monolayers. When two layers are stacked together to form a bilayer the interlayer exchange…
Magnons dominate the magnetic response of the recently discovered insulating ferromagnetic two dimensional crystals such as CrI$_3$. Because of the arrangement of the Cr spins in a honeycomb lattice, magnons in CrI$_3$ bear a strong…
We build a microscopic model to study the intra- and inter-layer superexchange due to electrons hopping in chromium trihalides ($\mathrm{CrX}_3$, X= Cl, Br, and I). In evaluating the superexchange, we identify the relevant intermediate…
Chromium trihalides (CrI$_3$, CrBr$_3$ and CrCl$_3$) form a prominent family of isostructural insulating layered materials in which ferromagnetic order has been observed down to the monolayer. Here we provide a comprehensive computational…
We analyze magnetic properties of monolayers and bilayers of chromium trihalides, CrI$_3$, in two different stacking configurations: AA and rhombohedral ones. Our main focus is on the corresponding Curie temperatures, hysteresis curves,…
It has been predicted theoretically and indirectly confirmed experimentally that single-layer CrX$_3$ (X=Cl, Br, I) might be the prototypes of topological magnetic insulators (TMI). In this work, by using first-principles calculations…
The discovery of the Dirac electron dispersion in graphene led to the question of the Dirac cone stability with respect to interactions. Coulomb interactions between electrons were shown to induce a logarithmic renormalization of the Dirac…
In this study, we present an effective tight-binding model for an accurate description of the lowest energy quadruplet of conduction band in a ferromagnetic CrX$_3$ monolayer, tuned to the complementary \textit{ab initio} density functional…
