Progress and prospects in two-dimensional magnetism of van der Waals materials
Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) magnetism in van der Waals (vdW) atomic crystals and
moiré superlattices has emerged as a topic of tremendous interest in the fields of condensed
matter physics and materials science within the past half-decade since its first experimental
discovery in 2016–2017. It has not only served as a powerful platform for investigating
phase transitions in the 2D limit and exploring new phases of matter, but also provided new
opportunities for applications in microelectronics, spintronics, magnonics, optomagnetics …
