In this manuscript, the authors grow very thin layers of FeAs in a matrix of InAs. The resulting superlattice displays ferromagnetism, with the Curie temperature varying depending on the layer thickness. These results further illustrate the wide array of intriguing ground states of materials with tetrahedral FeAs bonds
