Zoltán Tajkov had a talk at the 2DSPIN-TECH Annual Meeting 2025, held in June. His talk, titled “Proximity-Induced Magnetic Phases in CrI₃ Monolayers Coupled to WSe₂,” sparked significant interest among attendees. The presentation delved into the emergence of altered magnetic phases in a CrI₃ monolayer induced by proximity effects with WSe₂, utilizing density functional theory (DFT) calculations within the SIESTA framework. The innovative approach, which analyzed magnetic properties via a novel method incorporating relativistic effects, received notable attention. The discussion on energy variations and the impact of varying twist angles further enriched the session, fostering engaging dialogue and collaboration among participants, thereby enhancing the scientific community’s understanding and contributing to the conference’s success.
