    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Optical phonon engineering through nonlinear effects has been utilized in ultrafast control of material properties. However, nonlinear optical phonons typically exhibit rapid decay due to strong mode-mode couplings, limiting their effectiveness in temperature or frequency sensitive applications. Here we report the observation of long-lived nonlinear optical phonons through the spontaneous formation of phonon frequency combs in the van der Waals material CrXTe<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> (X=Ge, Si) using high-resolution Raman scattering. Unlike conventional optical phonons, the highest <jats:italic>A</jats:italic> <jats:sub>g</jats:sub> mode in CrGeTe<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> splits into equidistant, sharp peaks forming a frequency comb that persists for hundreds of oscillations and survives up to 200K. These modes correspond to localized oscillations of Ge<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Te<jats:sub>6</jats:sub> clusters, isolated from Cr hexagons, behaving as independent quantum oscillators. Introducing a cubic nonlinear term to the harmonic oscillator model, we simulate the phonon time evolution and successfully replicate the observed comb structure. Similar frequency comb behavior is observed in CrSiTe<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>, demonstrating the generalizability of this phenomenon. Our findings demonstrate that Raman scattering effectively probes high-frequency nonlinear phonon modes, offering insight into the generation of long-lived, tunable phonon frequency combs with potential applications in ultrafast material control and phonon-based technologies.</jats:p>

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Van der Waals (vdW) magnet heterostructures have emerged as new platforms to explore exotic magnetic orders and quantum phenomena. Here, we study heterostructures of layered antiferromagnets, CrI<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> and CrCl<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>, with perpendicular and in-plane magnetic anisotropy, respectively. Using magneto-optical Kerr effect microscopy, we demonstrate out-of-plane magnetic order in the CrCl<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> layer proximal to CrI<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>, with ferromagnetic interfacial coupling between the two. Such an interlayer exchange field leads to higher critical temperature than that of either CrI<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> or CrCl<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> alone. We further demonstrate significant electric-field control of the coercivity, attributed to the naturally broken structural inversion symmetry of the heterostructure allowing unprecedented direct coupling between electric field and interfacial magnetism. These findings illustrate the opportunity to explore exotic magnetic phases and engineer spintronic devices in vdW heterostructures.</jats:p>
