Abstract Metallic ferromagnetic transition metal dichalcogenides have emerged as important building blocks for scalable magnetic and memory applications. Downscaling such systems to the ultrathin limit is critical to integrate them into technology. Here, we achieved layer-by-layer control over the transition metal dichalcogenide Cr1.6Te2 by using pulsed laser deposition, and we uncovered the minimum critical thickness above which room-temperature magnetic order is maintained. The electronic and magnetic structures are explored experimentally and theoretically, and it is shown that the films exhibit strong in-plane magnetic anisotropy as a consequence of large spin–orbit effects. Our study elucidates both magnetic and electronic properties of Cr1.6Te2 and corroborates the importance of intercalation to tune the magnetic properties of nanoscale materials’ architectures.
