The study of atomically thin ferromagnetic crystals has led to the discovery of unusual magnetic behaviour and provided insight into the magnetic properties of bulk materials. However, the experimental techniques that have been used to explore ferromagnetism in such materials cannot probe the magnetic field directly. Here, we show that ballistic Hall micromagnetometry can be used to measure the magnetization of individual two-dimensional ferromagnets. Our devices are made by van der Waals assembly in such a way that the investigated ferromagnetic crystal is placed on top of a multi-terminal Hall bar made from encapsulated graphene. We use the micromagnetometry technique to study atomically thin chromium tribromide (CrBr3). We find that the material remains ferromagnetic down to monolayer thickness and exhibits strong out-of-plane anisotropy. We also find that the magnetic response of CrBr3 varies little with the number of layers and its temperature dependence cannot be described by the simple Ising model of two-dimensional ferromagnetism.

Motivated by recent progress on synthesizing two-dimensional magnetic van der Waals systems, we propose a setup for detecting the topological Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition in spin-transport experiments on such structures. We demonstrate that the spatial correlations of injected spin-currents into a pair of metallic leads can be used to measure the predicted universal jump of $2/pi$ in the ferromagnet spin-stiffness as well as its predicted universal square root dependence on temperature as the transition is approached from below. Our setup provides a simple route to measuring this topological phase transition in two-dimensional magnetic systems, something which up to now has proven elusive. It is hoped that this will encourage experimental efforts to investigate critical phenomena beyond the standard Ginzburg-Landau paradigm in low-dimensional magnetic systems with no local order parameter.
The manipulation of topologically protected field configurations, already predicted and experimentally observed in non-centrosymmetric magnets, as skyrmions, merons and antimerons could definitely have potential applications in logic gate operations as carriers of information. Here, we present and elaborate a proof of concept on how to construct a three-input non-canonical majority gate on a kagome ferromagnet lacking inversion symmetry. By taking advantage of the existence of edge modes in a Kagome magnet, it is possible to create topological excitations as merons and antimerons at the edge of the material. Using atomistic spin dynamics simulations, we determine the precise physical conditions for the creation and annihilation of merons and antimerons and, in a second stage, we describe the majority gate functionality.
We have analyzed magnetic-field-dependent small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) data of soft magnetic two-phase nanocomposite ferromagnets in terms of a recent micromagnetic theory for the magnetic SANS cross section [D. Honecker and A. Michels, Phys . Rev. B $mathbf{87}$, 224426 (2013)]. The approach yields a value for the average exchange-stiffness constant and provides the Fourier coefficients of the magnetic anisotropy field and magnetostatic field, which is related to jumps of the magnetization at internal interfaces.
An important problem in contemporary physics concerns quantum-critical fluctuations in metals. A scaling function for the momentum, frequency, temperature and magnetic field dependence of the correlation function near a 2D-ferromagnetic quantum-criti cal point (QCP) is constructed, and its singularities are determined by comparing to the recent calculations of the correlation functions of the dissipative quantum XY model (DQXY). The calculations are motivated by the measured properties of the metallic compound YFe$_2$Al$_{10}$, which is a realization of the DQXY model in 2D. The frequency, temperature and magnetic field dependence of the scaling function as well as the singularities measured in the experiments are given by the theory without adjustable exponents. The same model is applicable to the superconductor-insulator transitions, classes of metallic AFM-QCPs, and as fluctuations of the loop-current ordered state in hole-doped cuprates. The results presented here lend credence to the solution found for the 2D-DQXY model, and its applications in understanding quantum-critical properties of diverse systems.
Principles of machine learning are applied to models that support skyrmion phases in two dimensions. Successful feature predictions on various phases of the skyrmion model were possible with several layers of convolutional neural network inserted tog ether with several neural network layers. A new training scheme based on features of the input configuration such as magnetization and spin chirality is introduced. It proved possible to further train external parameters such as the magnetic field and temperature and make reliable predictions on them. Algorithms trained on only the z-component or the xy-components of the spin gave equally reliable predictions. The predictive capacity of the algorithm extended to configurations not generated by the original model, but related ones. A procedure for integrating the machine learning algorithm into the interpretation of experimental data is given.
