Electron beam-formed ferromagnetic defects on MoS2 surface along 1 T phase transition
نویسندگان
چکیده
1 T phase incorporation into 2H-MoS2 via an optimal electron irradiation leads to induce a weak ferromagnetic state at room temperature, together with the improved transport property. In addition to the 1T-like defects, the electron irradiation on the cleaved MoS2 surface forms the concentric circle-type defects that are caused by the 2 H/1 T phase transition and the vacancies of the nearby S atoms of the Mo atoms. The electron irradiation-reduced bandgap is promising in vanishing the Schottky barrier to attaining spintronics device. The simple method to control and improve the magnetic and electrical properties on the MoS2 surface provides suitable ways for the low-dimensional device applications.

Origin of exotic ferromagnetic behavior in exfoliated layered transition metal dichalcogenides MoS2 and WS2.
Bulk layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) show diamagnetic properties. When exfoliated, the materials' band gap increases and changes from an indirect band gap to a direct one. During the exfoliation, the TMDs may undergo a phase transition from 2H to 1T polymorph, which is likely electronically driven and accompanied by a metal-insulator transition. A significantly higher efficiency...
متن کاملStructural Transformations in Two-Dimensional Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide MoS2 under an Electron Beam: Insights from First-Principles Calculations.
The polymorphism of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and different electronic properties of the polymorphs make TMDs particularly promising materials in the context of applications in electronics. Recently, local transformations from the semiconducting trigonal prismatic H phase to the metallic octahedral T phase in 2D MoS2 have been induced by electron irradiation [...

Indeed, the stability of such nanomaterials can influence their behavior in the different types of envisaged uses.[3–5] MoS2 is considered relatively chemically inert in ambient conditions. However, its chemical stability, optical and electrical properties are dependent on its cr...
متن کاملRealization of high Curie temperature ferromagnetism in atomically thin MoS2 and WS2 nanosheets with uniform and flower-like morphology.
High Curie temperature ferromagnetism has been realized in atomically thin MoS2 and WS2 nanosheets. The ultrathin nanosheet samples were prepared via a novel, simple and efficient chemical vapor deposition method; different kinds of transition metal disulfides (MoS2 and WS2) could be obtained by sulphuring the corresponding cation sources (MoO3 and WCl6). Through related morphological and struc...
متن کاملMicromagnetic imaging to determine the nature of the ferromagnetic phase transition in La(0.7)Ca(0.3)MnO3.
There is considerable controversy surrounding the nature of the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition in La(0.7)Ca(0.3)MnO3. We have used transmission electron microscopy to determine whether the phase transition is first or second order. On warming through the transition point, the ferromagnetic phase retreats from the sample surface as it is replaced by the paramagnetic phase. This c...
