Probing magnetism in atomically thin semiconducting PtSe2

Beneficiary defects could be utilized to introduce magnetism into materials that are not intrinsically magnetic. Here, the authors demonstrate long range magnetic order in the air-stable, defective Platinum Diselenide in the ultimate limit of thickness by using proximitized graphene as a probe.
