## Description

- description: Chromium triiodide, CrI3, is emerging as a promising magnetic two-dimensional
    semiconductor where spins are ferromagnetically aligned within a single layer.
    Potential applications in spintronics arise from an antiferromagnetic ordering
    between adjacent layers that gives rise to spin filtering and a large magnetoresistance
    in tunnelling devices. This key feature appears only in thin multi- layers and
    it is not inherited from bulk crystals, where instead neighbouring layers share
    the same ferromagnetic spin orientation. This discrepancy between bulk and thin
    samples is unexpected, as magnetic ordering between layers arises from exchange
    interactions that are local in nature and should not depend strongly on thickness.
    Here we solve this controversy and show through po- larization resolved Raman
    spectroscopy that thin multilayers do not undergo a structural phase transition
    typical of bulk crystals. As a consequence, a different stacking pattern is present
    in thin and bulk samples at the temperatures at which magnetism sets in and, according
    to previous first- principles simulations, this results in a different interlayer
    magnetic ordering. Our experimental findings provide evidence for the strong interplay
    between stacking order and magnetism in CrI3, opening interesting perspectives
    to design the magnetic state of van der Waals multilayers.
