Project

Emergent properties of 2D magnetic materials.

This project aims to investigate the properties of recently emerged two-dimensional (2D) materials having intrinsic magnetism. Motivated by the recent discovery of the ferromagnetic 2D monolayer CrI3 and the found plethora of magnetic phase transitions with every added layer, we investigate the formation mechanism, the temperature dependence and the routes for tuning 2D magnetism by external stimuli such as strain, charge doping, and electric field, with an outlook to possible applications.
