The isolation of graphene lead to a surge of interest in van der Waals materials, with more recent isolation of individual layers of transition metal chalcogenides, and various magnetic van der Waals materials. For many of these materials, controlled growth of one-dimensional systems, nanoribbons for example, have been demonstrated. Here, Lu et al add to this CrCl3, a van der Waals magnetic material, growing one-dimensional wires and observing their magnetic ordering via scanning tunneling microscopy.
