GdI2 monolayer is a promising material for spintronics applications due to its robust room-temperature ferromagnetism and sizable valley polarization. In two-dimensional van der Waals magnets, interlayer magnetic coupling plays crucial role in device applications. The performance of these devices can be effectively tuned by adjusting the stacking order, charge doping, strain.
