Two dimensional magnetic materials have received great attention since 2D magnets Cr2Ge2Te6 and CrI3 were first discovered at 2017, for they combine two-dimensional quantum properties, intrinsic magnetic order, and even topology together. Exploring the magnetic van de Waals family and controlling their physical properties by external field will accelerate the development of novel physics and the application of spintronics. Herein, I’ll first report the electric and magnetic properties of 2D magnetic Cr2Ge2Te6 by transport measurement. Through gating, an insulator-metal transition and anomalous Hall effect are observed, which indicate intrinsic magnetism inside 2D Cr2Ge2Te6 flakes. In addition, I’ll also describe our work in discovering a layered ferromagnetic compound MnSb1.8Bi0.2Te4 by neutron scattering and transport properties, which is dissimilar to its parent materials MnBi2Te4 or MnSb2Te4 showing an anti-ferromagnetic ground state. At last, I am also pleased to share our recent attempts on exfoliating large area 2D quantum materials with a metal assisted method.
