Moiré superlattice in twisted van der Waals (vdW) magnets provides a powerful route to engineer interlayer magnetic exchange interactions and emergent magnetic states. While moiré-induced magnetism has been extensively explored in antiferromagnetic (AFM) insulators, its realization in ferromagnetic (FM) metals remains a challenge due to the presence of itinerant electrons and competing magnetic energy scales, which together weaken or obscure the effect of magnetic moiré potential, particularly at high temperatures relevant for spintronic applications. Here, we report the electrical identification of moiré magnetism in small-angle (0.5°) twisted Fe3GeTe2 multilayers, persisting up to 160 K. By leveraging the anomalous Hall effect and magnetoresistance as sensitive probes, we observe a characteristic multistep magnetization reversal, in sharp contrast to the single switching of untwisted samples, which serves as a fingerprint of a mixed magnetic state landscape. Supported by polar magneto-optical Kerr effect microscopy and micromagnetic simulations, we attribute these signatures to the coexistence of AFM and FM domains spatially locked by the long-wavelength moiré superlattice. Upon cooling, the relative weight of AFM domains is compressed due to the competition between the magnetic moiré potential and the strengthening perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. These results demonstrate high-temperature moiré magnetism in vdW metallic ferromagnets and establish twist engineering as an effective approach to control magnetic states.

Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
