Title
Distinctive magnetic properties of CrI₃ and CrBr₃ monolayers caused by spin-orbit coupling
Author
Abstract
After the discovery of magnetism in monolayer CrI3, the magnetic properties of different two-dimensional materials from the chromium-trihalide family are intuitively assumed to be similar, yielding magnetic anisotropy from the spin-orbit coupling on halide ligands. Here we reveal significant differences between the CrI3 and CrBr3 magnetic monolayers in their magnetic anisotropy, resulting Curie temperature, hysteresis in an external magnetic field, and evolution of magnetism with strain, all predominantly attributed to a distinctly different interplay of atomic contributions to spin-orbit coupling in two materials.
