Electron correlation effects on exchange interactions and spin excitations in 2D van der Waals materials

Abstract Despite serious effort, the nature of the magnetic interactions and the role of electron-correlation effects in magnetic two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials remains elusive. Using CrI3 as a model system, we show that the calculated electronic structure including nonlocal electron c...
