Intrinsic magnetic behavior in CrSiTe$_{\mathrm{3}}$ monolayers

ORAL

Abstract

Intrinsic magnetic two-dimensional semiconductors have great potential in nano-electronics and spintronic devices. In this talk, we investigate CrSiTe$_{\mathrm{3}}$ monolayers, a promising 2D materials which has magnetic behavior according to previous studies [1]. We will verify the magnetic behavior, and complement it with additional results. References: [1] N.
