Quantum sensing of two-dimensional magnets
Van der Waals (vdW) materials are layered compounds that can be readily exfoliated down to the monolayer limit. Magnetic order has recently been observed in such atomic monolayers. This milestone discovery could launch a new era in nano-magnetism, in, which the exceptional cleanliness and tunability of these truly two-dimensional magnets may enable fundamental discoveries and novel technologies based on atomic-scale functional magnetic elements. Direct, quantitative sensing of nanoscale properties of these systems is a key ingredient for further progress. My group has recently demonstrated their power through the first nanoscale imaging of magnetism in atomic-scale vdW magnets. This major…
