“…In the antiferromagnetic state, magnetic field induced phase transitions, or metamagnetic transitions, occur in FeCl 2 , FeBr 2 , and FeI 2 at applied fields near 11, 29, and 46 kOe, respectively [109,112,113]. This arises from stronger ferromagnetic coupling within the layers compared to the weak antiferromagnetic coupling between them, and led to much of the early interest in these materials, as summarized in [114] and references therein.…”
