Description
The ability to exfoliate van der Waals crystals of magnetic compounds is giving access to a vast, unexplored family of two-dimensional magnetic materials, with a variety of different magnetic ground states. Most of these compounds are semiconductors that offer –besides the possibility to explore magnetism in highly controlled 2D crystals— a new playground to combine magnetic and semiconducting functionalities. In this talk I will discuss how magnetotransport experiments allow the investigation the magnetic phase diagram of 2D magnetic material down to the ultimate limit of individual monolayers, to reveal phenomena that are difficult –or cannot—be accessed with other existing experimental techniques.
