Despite progress in the fabrication and manipulation of the atom-thick magnets, investigation of nanoscale magnetization properties is still challenging due to the concomitant technical issues. We propose a promising approach for a direct visualization of the domain walls formed in 2D magnetic materials. By interfacing 2D magnet with a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayer, the strong proximity effects enable pinning the TMD excitons on the domain wall. The emergent localization stems from the proximity-induced exchange mixing between spin-dark and spin-bright TMD excitons due to the local in-plane magnetization characteristic of the domain wall in the magnetic monolayer.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-10T12:17:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "magnetic domain wall", "exciton localization", "proximity effects enable pinning", "local in-plane magnetization characteristic", "van der waals materials" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
