2D MAGIC: New Science from Two Dimensional MAGnetIC Heterostructures
Abstract
The recent discovery of two dimensional (2D) van der Waals magnets offers unprecedented opportunities to engineer magnetic heterostructures at the atomically thin limit, in that for the first time they enable layer by layer assembly of magnetic heterostructures without the need for lattice matching. Together with their atomically thin thickness and excellent mechanical properties, this provides paradigm shifting scientific opportunities that can enable new strategies for making flexible, lightweight technologies not possible with 3D magnetic materials. Since this field of van der Waals magnets and heterostructures is so new, a broad spectrum of fundamental science questions needs to be addressed before unleashing their full potential for applications of interest to DoD.
