Following the recent isolation of monolayer CrI3, there has been a surge of new two-dimensional van der Waals magnetic materials, whose incorporation in van der Waals heterostructures offers a new platform for spintronics, proximity magnetism, and quantum spin liquids. A primary question in this bur...
