Interplay of Orbital Degeneracy and Vacancies in Stabilizing Collinear Magnetic Order in Cr${}_{1+\delta }$Te${}_2$

Prasanta Chowdhury, Jyotirmoy Sau, Mohamad Numan +7

Cr${}_{1+\delta }$Te${}_2$, a two-dimensional van der Waals ferromagnet, displays a contested magnetic structure, poised between collinear and non-collinear spin configurations. In this work…
