A few years ago, it was claimed that the two-dimensional ferromagnetic planar Hf monolayer could be synthesized on Ir(111). However, several questions remained unanswered. Herein, we unravel the structural stability of the HF monolayer and its influence on magnetism using first principles calculatio...
