Abstract
nanosheets. Notably, the magnetic field required to tune this ferromagnetic state (<300 Oe) is much lower than the value needed to tune a typical vdW antiferromagnet (> several thousand oersted). These findings provide a previously unexplored route for controlling competing correlated states and magnetic ordering by defect engineering in vdW materials.
