Abstract Scope |
This abstract presents the chemical vapor deposition-growth, doping, and magnetism of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). 2D atomic crystals exhibiting magnetic properties provide an ideal platform for exploring new physical phenomena in the 2D limit, representing a substantial shift in the ability to control and investigate nanoscale phases. Our work demonstrates a 2D dilute magnetic semiconductor at room temperature via an in situ synthesis and characterization of Fe-doped TMD monolayers. We simultaneously achieve the substitutional doping of Fe and the growth of MoS2 and WS2 monolayers and show that Fe incorporates substitutionally into Mo and W lattice sites and probes ferromagnetism in Fe:MoS2 at room temperature. This new class of van der Waals ferromagnets finds critical applications, including magnetic tunnel junction devices. |
