Emerging two-dimensional ferromagnetism in silicene materials
Exploring the magnetism in 2D materials paves the way to low-dimensional spintronics. Here the authors report evolution of bulk antiferromagnetism to intrinsic 2D in-plane ferromagnetism in layered structures of silicene functionalized by rare-earth atoms as they are scaled down to one monolayer.
