Theoretical investigation on magnetic property of monolayer CrI3 from microscale to macroscale

Magnetic two-dimensional (2D) materials have received tremendous attention recently due to its potential application in spintronics and other magnetism related fields. To our knowledge, five kinds of 2D materials with intrinsic magnetism have been synthesized in experiment. They are CrI3, Cr2Ge2Te6, FePS3, Fe3GeTe2 and VSe2. Apart from the above intrinsic magnetic 2D materials, many strategies have also been proposed to induce magnetism in normal 2D materials such as atomic modification, spin valve and proximity effect. Various devices have also been designed to fulfill the basic functions of spintronics: inducing spin, manipulating spin and detecting spin.

Machine learning magnetic parameters from spin configurations

Hamiltonian parameter estimation is crucial in condensed matter physics, but time and cost consuming in terms of resources used. With advances in observation techniques, high-resolution images with more detailed information are obtained, which can serve as an input to machine learning (ML) algorithms to extract Hamiltonian parameters. However, the number of labeled images is rather limited. Here, we provide a protocol for Hamiltonian parameter estimation based on a machine learning architecture, which is trained on a small amount of simulated images and applied to experimental spin configuration images. Sliding windows on the input images enlarges the number of training images; therefore we can train well a neural network on a small dataset of simulated images which are generated adaptively using the same external conditions such as temperature and magnetic field as the experiment. The neural network is applied to the experimental image and estimates magnetic parameters efficiently. We demonstrate the success of the estimation by reproducing the same configuration from simulation and predict a hysteresis loop accurately. Our approach paves a way to a stable and general parameter estimation.
