Kondo interaction can mediate intertwined charge and magnetic orders in 2D d-electron systems. Here, using scanning tunneling microscopy, the authors reveal that Fe(I) atoms mediate atomic scale √3x√3 spatial coherence among charge density wave, Kondo physics, and ferromagnetism in the 2D ferromagnet Fe5GeTe2.
