There is an ever-growing interest in two-dimensional materials to facilitate further size-reduction and enhanced efficiency in microelectronics [1]. Especially magnetic properties of such materials are important for spintronic and magnetoelectronic applications [2]. The class of chromium trihalides, CrX3 (X = Cl, Br, I), are van der Waals bonded, layered semiconductors and show (anti-)ferromagnetism [3]. We examine the magnetic properties of large crystallites of these compounds using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). Furthermore we are able to exfoliate all of them with thicknesses down to a few layers. We test these ultra-thin systems of just a few layers, whether their magnetism persists on this scale by probing their magnetic stray field with ballistic Hall-sensors made of high-mobility GaAs/AlGaAs 2DEGs[4].
