Transition-metal phosphorus trisulfides (TMPS3’s) — a family of antiferromagnetic materials to which FePS3, the first discovered two-dimensional magnetic material [1], belongs — have been regarded as an ideal testbed for studying the strong influence of low dimensionality on the existence of magnetic order. We developed anisotropic magnetic models for TMPS3’s from first-principles calculations; the bulk magnetic properties, including the critical temperatures (TN’s), reported from previous experiments were explained very well [2]. Remarkably, it was predicted by applying our magnetic models to the few-layer cases that monolayer NiPS3 exhibits a fairly high TN, which is in contrast with the conclusion from a recent Raman study that the TN is largely suppressed in monolayer NiPS3 [3]. We discuss how the degeneracy in the magnetic ground state of monolayer NiPS3 changes significantly its polarized Raman spectra, which provides a reconciliation between our theoretical predictions and the previous experimental results as to the existence of magnetic order in monolayer NiPS3.
