Go to the C2DB website at https://cmrdb.fysik.dtu.dk/c2db and search for magnetic monolayers with finite band gaps (the theory developed so far is not applicable to metals, since these typically have long range interactions). (Hint: Toggle `Magnetic` to `yes` and set a minimum value for the `Band gap range` in the search menu, then press the search icon.)\n", "2. Refine the query to sort out the magnetic monolayers with a ferromagnetic ground state. (Hint: Key values such as the nearest neighbor exchange coupling can be queried by entering `J>0` into the search field.)\n", "3. Show the spin state, exchange coupling and magnetic anisotropy in the property overview. (Hint: You can add key values to the overview through the `Add Column` botton.)\n", "4. Decide on a material you find promising to have a high Curie temperature, based on what you learned in previous notebooks.
