atomically thin layers for use in quantum devices. It is predicted that the application of compressive
biaxial strain of few-layer CrI3 will lower its Curie temperature. Increased compressive biaxial strain
of CrI3 is expected to result in the formation of a quantum spin liquid, which is useful for quantum
computing. In this work we use optical contrast to non-destructively measure the thickness of CrI3
flakes, and develop a technique to apply and quantify biaxial compressive strains of CrI3.
