Van der Waals engineering of magnetism

Nature Materials volume 18, pages 1273–1274 (2019)Cite this article

Subjects

Pressure-induced changes in the layer stacking order is found to result in new magnetic ground states in two-dimensional insulating CrI3. Such van der Waals engineering should provide ample opportunities to design desired magnetic phases.
