Magneto-optical spectra of VI2

Epitaxial growth and electronic properties of an antiferromagnetic semiconducting VI2 monolayer

“…[24][25][26] Previous studies carried out on single crystal VI 2 revealed a collinear AFM spin ordering with a magnetic moment of V making an angle of about 30°with respect to the c-axis below a critical temperature of about 14 K, while making a magnetic 120°-spin ordering above it. [27][28][29] The 120°AFM spin ordering is particularly intriguing due to the fact that the destruction of the spin symmetry in non-collinear AFM systems may trigger the spin Hall effect without the need for spin-orbit coupling or spin-chirality. 30 As a layered van der Waals (vdW) material, VI 2 down to the monolayer limit could be a promising candidate for realizing 2D non-collinear AFM.…”
