The research on (quasi) 2D magnetism propelled rapidly since the first experimental discovery of atomically thin magnets in 2017. Since the magnetic properties of bulk (quasi-2D) crystals serve as a basis for the understanding of magnetic phenomenon in reduced dimensions (true 2D limit), a profound knowledge and understanding of these compounds is evidently needed at quasi-2D level, especially considering that magnetic mono and bilayers of a wide range of 2D magnets have now become accessible. In this talk, I will present and discuss our recent findings1-7 in tuning the magnetic properties of quasi-2D layered van der Waals magnets by photoexcitation, proton irradiation, intercalation, and by the application of pressure.
