Nitrogen‐Vacancy Magnetometry of Edge Magnetism in WS2 Flakes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Using nitrogen‐vacancy magnetometry, the authors visualize room‐temperature stray magnetic fields localized at the edges of WS2 flakes. Their measurements reveal edge‐specific magnetization consistent with spin canting in antiferromagnetically coupled edge states.
