 Abstract: Strong magnetization fluctuations are expected near the thermodynamic critical point of a continuous magnetic phase transition. Such critical fluctuations are highly correlated and in principle can occur at any time and length scales1; they govern critical phenomena and potentially can drive new phases2,3. Although critical phenomena in magnetic materials have been studied using neutron scattering, magnetic a.c. susceptibility and other techniques4,5,6, direct real-time imaging of critical magnetization fluctuations remains elusive. Here we develop a fast and sensitive magneto-optical imaging microscope to achieve wide-field, real-time monitoring of critical magnetization fluctuations in single-layer ferromagnetic insulator CrBr3. We track the critical phenomena directly from the fluctuation correlations and observe both slowing-down dynamics and enhanced correlation length. Through real-time feedback control of the critical fluctuations, we further achieve switching of magnetic states solely by electrostatic gating. The ability to directly image and control critical fluctuations in 2D magnets opens up exciting opportunities to explore critical phenomena and develop applications in nanoscale engines and information science.
