Abstract
The continuous reduction in the size of spintronic devices highly requires new low‐dimensional magnetic materials to mimic the traditional structures of spintronics in nanoscale. Since the discovery of graphene, two‐dimensional (2D) crystalline materials with atomic thickness have attracted extraordinary interests, partly due to their novel properties and potential applications in spintronics. In the past decades, many theoretical understandings and designs of 2D materials have been proposed for spintronics, indicating that the combination of spintronics and two‐dimensional crystals electronics should be an ideal evolution toward nanoscale spintronics devices and make for the bottom‐up spintronics nanoengineering.
