Quantum rescaling, domain metastability and hybrid domain-walls in two-dimensional CrI3 magnets

Dina Abdul-Wahab, Mathias Augustin, Samuel Manas Valero +9

Higher-order exchange interactions and quantum effects are widely known to play an important role in describing the properties of low-dimensional magnetic compounds. Here we identi…
