Spectroscopic studies of magnetic ordering in two-dimensional trihalides and chromium-based compounds

ORAL

Abstract

Since the discovery of layer-dependent ferromagnetism in chromium triiodide(CrI3), the two-dimensional(2-D) crystals with intrinsic magnetism persisting even into monolayer attract widespread concern. This kind of 2-D magnets provide us a totally new platform for further development of spintronics, magnetoelectronics etc. Even though the details of the magnetic coupling between layers have not been fully understood, such ferromagnetism in CrI3 give us hint that other 2-D trihalides and chromium-based compounds may also show remarkable magnetic properties down to thin layers. Here we will present our work on looking for new 2-D magnets and the understanding of the magnetic ordering in these materials.
