Magnetism in 2D layered materials has attracted much recent interests. We develop techniques to fabricate heterostructures and field effect devices based on these materials, as well as to probe and image magnetic orders and spin dynamics. Recent topics of interests include development of energy-efficient methods to switch magnetism in these materials (e.g. electric field switching and switching by magnetic fluctuations), antiferromagnetic spin dynamics and magnon transport.
