Description

Huiqin Zhang and co-authors predict a family of atom-thin magnetic boride sheets, in this 2023 study. Two-dimensional magnets that cancel their own fields draw interest for electronics shielded from stray magnetism. The team paired four transition metals with boron cages in computer models and checked their stability.

All four sheets settled into antiferromagnetic ground states with strong directional preference. Two of them are semiconductors with small band gaps. The iron member stays magnetically ordered well above liquid nitrogen temperatures. Gentle stretching could tune the chromium and iron sheets, the authors add, making the family a design platform.
