2D Magnetic Thin Films

2D van der Waals (vdW) magnets are amazingly useful for their applications in spintronics but they are difficult to built. This is mainly because growing these crystals require high temperatures and high temperatures weakens their magnetic properties.

A huge collaboration between researchers from three continents have developed a low temperature method to safely build these crystals that preserves their properties. Their publication has  been featured in the cover of Advanced Materials.
