Fig. 2: Spin mapping of the zigzag AFM spin texture in 1 ML 1T-CrTe2.

a, c, and d SPSTM images (Vb = −0.1 V, It = 100 pA) of 1 ML CrTe2 taken with a Cr tip under different magnetic fields. Inset of (a) is a DFT-simulated SPSTM image of the ML CrTe2 in the zigzag type AFM order. b FFT image of (a). f Sum image of (d) and (c). g Line profiles extracted along the white lines in (c–f). The green lines in (a, c–e) mark the direction of the zigzag spin rows.
