Intercalation-induced near room-temperature ferromagnetism in ${\mathrm{CrI}}_{3}$ via synergistic exchange pathways (opens in new tab)

Author(s): Qing-Han Yang, Jia-Wen Li, Xin-Wei Yi, Xiang Li, Jing-Yang You, Gang Su, and Bo GuThe development of room-temperature magnetic semiconductors is critical for advancing spintronic technologies, yet van der Waals magnets like ${\mathrm{CrI}}_{3}$ exhibit intrinsically low Curie temperatures ($T{}_{\mathrm{C}} ∼45$ K). This study employs first-principles calculations to demonstrate …[Phys. Rev. B 113, 214442] Published Wed Jun 17, 2026
