The discovery of 2D ferromagnets in 2017 has opened new ways to explore novel physical phenomena at the nanoscale. In the first part of my talk, I will briefly discuss the recent advances in chromium trihalides, from fundamentals to applications.[1] In the second part, I will focus on our recent work regarding the role of Coulomb interactions in the intralayer exchange, the electrical tunability of interlayer magnetism in bilayer CrI3,[2] and the exchange proximity effects in van der Waals heterostructures containing chromium trihalides.[3,4] [1] Magnetic Two-Dimensional Chromium Trihalides: A Theoretical Perspective.
