Mott phase in a van der Waals transition-metal halide at single-layer limit

Two-dimensional materials offer opportunities for unravelling unprecedented ordered states at the single-layer limit. Among such ordered states, the Mott phase is rarely explored. Here we study the Mott phase in van der Waals chromium (II) iodide (CrI_{2}) films. High-quality CrI_{2} films with an a...
