"Opportunities and challenges of two-dimensional magnetic van der Waals materials: magnetic graphene?"

Abstract: There has been a huge increase of interests in two-dimensional van der Waals materials over the past ten years or so. Despite the impressive list of new materials and the novel physical phenomena, there is the conspicuous absence of one particular class of materials: magnetic van der Waals systems. It is certainly a sorry status of materials science given the huge impact the magnetic materials have had on both the fundamental understanding and the diverse applications. In this talk, I will identify and illustrate how we might be able to benefit from exploring these so-far neglected materials. My talk will be based on some of recent publications from my group [1-4].
