Controlling the magnetic state of 2D materials is a key enabler for spintronics. Especially in the novel class of non-van der Waals 2D compounds – materials derived from non-layered bulk counterparts – promising (surface) magnetic properties were outlined in recent years [1,2]. Utilising data-mining and autonomous density functional theory calculations, we demonstrate the modification of magnetic properties of these materials by hydrogen passivation [3]. The magnetic configurations are tuned to states with flipped and enhanced moments, which we rationalize by analysing Bader charges. For 2D CdTiO3 – a diamagnetic compound in the pristine case – we observe an onset of ferromagnetism upon hydrogenation. Further investigation of the magnetization density in both pristine and passivated systems provides a detailed analysis of modified local spin symmetries and the emergence of ferromagnetism. Our results suggest that selective surface passivation is a powerful tool for tailoring magnetic properties of nanomaterials, such as non-vdW 2D compounds.
