Dimensionality crossover to 2D vestigial nematicity from 3D zigzag antiferromagnetism in an XY-type honeycomb van der Waals magnet
Z. Sun, G. Ye, et al.
This groundbreaking research delves into the fascinating phase transition of the XY-type honeycomb magnet NiPS₃, revealing how strong quantum fluctuations lead to novel 2D magnetic phases. Conducted by a talented team of authors, the study utilizes advanced NV spin relaxometry, optical spectroscopy, and Monte Carlo simulations to uncover the intricate behaviors of this material in few-layer forms.
