The phase diagram of 2D antiferromagnets

The magnetic phase diagram of thin-layered antiferromagnets is revealed experimentally by investigating the tunnelling conductance as a function of magnetic field. A rich magnetic behaviour in CrCl3 is uncovered, from which relevant magnetic information is extracted that is not easily available with other approaches.
