It has been a while since Onsager established that there can be a phase transition at a finite temperature in the two-dimensional (2D) Ising system. However, experimental verification of such long-range magnetic order has been mostly limited to the magnetism arising from extrinsic effects such as defects and chemical dopants. Bulk iron phosphorus trisulfide (FePS3) is a van der Waals material with an Ising-type antiferromagnetic order. In this presentation, we discuss the results of our first-principle calculations on the electronic structure and vibrational spectrum of monolayer FePS3. The calculations are compared with the experimental Raman spectra that exhibit several new peaks emerging below the Néel temperature. We demonstrate that the drastic changes in the Raman spectra can be understood in terms of the zone-folding effects, which suggests that monolayer FePS3 exhibits intrinsic anti-ferromagnetic order.
