Abstract of Research / Brief Description of Your Current Research Interest (max. 200 words)

The discovery of thermodynamically stable two dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials could allow for the development of spintronic devices with unprecedented power efficiency and computing capabilities towards energy efficient applications. However, it is currently unknown how to implement these materials in real device platforms due to the complexity of the spin interactions and how to manipulate them for information technologies. The aim of our studies is to utilize the two common simulation methods, the atomistic and micromagnetic simulation techniques, to unveil the intrinsic properties of 2D vdW magnets. In particular, we focus selected materials such as Cr2Ge2Te6 (CGT), Cr2Si2Te6 (CST), CrTe2, Fe3GeTe2 (FGT312) and Fe3GaTe2 (FGaT) . Magnetic features are reproduced from simulation and compared with experiment findings, further analysis of simulation data could reveal physics behind observed phenomenon and guide academic/industrial heading.
