The Mermin-Wagner theorem states that for short-range isotropic interactions, magnetic order in two dimensions is destroyed by magnetic fluctuations at finite temperatures. Observing this situation is challenging due to the finite size of typical laboratory samples. Here, Kiaba et al observe the suppression of magnetic order in oxide superlattices, at the thickness of the superlattice layers are reduced to one monolayer.
