Unprecedented insight into two-dimensional magnets using diamond quantum sensors

Thursday, April 25, 2019 - 14:30 in Physics & Chemistry

For the first time, physicists have succeeded in measuring the magnetic properties of atomically thin van der Waals materials on the nanoscale. They used diamond quantum sensors to determine the strength of the magnetization of individual atomic layers of the material chromium triiodide. In addition, they found a long-sought explanation for the unusual magnetic properties of the material.
