Magnetic order in 2D antiferromagnets revealed by spontaneous anisotropic magnetostriction
2023
The temperature dependent order parameter provides important information on the nature of magnetism. Using traditional methods to study this parameter in two-dimensional (2D) magnets remains difficult, however, particularly for insulating antiferromagnetic (AF) compounds. Here, we show that its temperature dependence in AF MPS$_{3}$ (M(II) = Fe, Co, Ni) can be probed via the anisotropy in the resonance frequency of rectangular membranes, mediated by a combination of anisotropic magnetostriction and spontaneous staggered magnetization. Density functional calculations followed by a derived orbital-resolved magnetic exchange analysis confirm and unravel the microscopic origin of this magnetiza…
Multistep spin switching in orthogonally-twisted ferromagnetic monolayers
2023
The advent of twisting-engineering in two-dimensional (2D) crystals enables the design of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures exhibiting emergent properties. In the case of magnets, this approach can afford artificial magnets with tailored spin arrangements that do not exist in nature. Here, we fabricate an artificial magnet by twisting 90 degrees two CrSBr ferromagnetic monolayers with an easy-axis in-plane anisotropy, thus forming an "orthogonally-twisted bilayer". The magneto-transport properties reveal multistep spin switching with a magnetic hysteresis opening, which is absent in the pristine case. By tuning the magnetic field, we modulate the remanent state and coercivity and select …
