Abstract
Intrinsic, two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic semiconductors are an important class of materials for spintronics applications. semiconductors show 2D Ising-like ferromagnetism, which is preserved in few-layer devices. The maximum magnetic entropy change associated with the critical properties around the ferromagnetic transition for J is much larger than J for with an out-of-plane field change of 5 T. The rescaled curves collapse onto a universal curve independent of temperature and field for both materials. This indicates similar critical behavior and 2D Ising magnetism, confirming the magnetocrystalline anisotropy that could preserve the long-range ferromagnetism in a few layers of .
