Researchers led by MIT Physics Professor Pablo Jarillo-Herrero showed they can alter ultra-thin chromium trichloride's magnetic properties by shifting the stacking order of layers.
“What we’re seeing is that it’s 10 times harder to align the layers in the thin limit compared to the bulk,” says MIT Physics graduate student Dahlia R. Klein.
