Surface Functionalization for Magnetic Property Tuning of Nonmagnetic 2D Materials

Surface functionalization with organic molecules has proven effective to modulate the electronic properties of 2D materials. More recently, surface been shown induce magnetic behaviors in nonmagnetic If magnetism can be imparted materials via by tailored properties, it would make available whole spectrum as systems, which are currently limited a small subset that intrinsically magnetic. This perspective will present experimental results and theoretical predictions magnetism. Key studies on graphene, layered topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides functionalized single-molecule magnets, adatoms, discussed advocate for utilizing The modulation is still its infancy, presenting exciting opportunities new ideas discoveries. conclude future outlook challenges this topic.
