Magnetic van der Waals materials is an new addition to the growing list of 2d materials. The special feature of these new materials is that they exhibit a magnetic ground state, either antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic. As the history of science has amply demonstrated, magnetism has been playing a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of nature, both academically and industrially. It is also known and van der Waals magenets, magnetic 2D materials or more romantically magnetic graphene. The field started with a series of papers in 2016 both a conceptual and visionary paper and a first experimental demonstration with FePS3 and NiPS3. The field was expanded further with the publication of similar observations in ferromagnetism the following year with Cr2Ge2Te6 and CrI3. Since then, the field has exploded with several new materials discovered as well as several important review papers.
