Abstract: Magnetic order in two-dimensional systems was not supposed to exist at finite temperature. In recent years, the successful preparation of two-dimensional ferromagnetic materials such as CrI3, Cr2Ge2Te6, and Fe3GeTe2 opens up a new chapter in the remarkable field of two-dimensional materials. Here, we report on a theoretical analysis of the stability of ferromagnetism in Fe3GeTe2. We uncover the mechanism of holding long-range magnetic order and propose a model to estimate the Curie temperature of Fe3GeTe2. Our results reveal the essential role of magnetic anisotropy in maintaining the magnetic order of two-dimensional systems. The theoretical method used here can be generalized to future research of other magnetic two-dimensional systems.

Key words: two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetism, spin wave, magnetic anisotropy
