  1. Values reported in square brackets are the moments obtained using LSDA. The first-principles results are obtained using GGA-optimized structures. Experimental magnetic moments are reported for the corresponding bulk FenGeTe2 systems, since experimental data are not availbale for most of the monolayer systems.
