Intrinsically ferromagnetic 2D semiconductors are essential and highly sought for nanoscale spintronics, but they can only be obtained from ferromagnetic bulk crystals, while the possibility to create 2D intrinsic ferromagnets from bulk antiferromagnets remains unknown. Herein on the basis of ab ini...
