Title: Room-Temperature Magnetic Order in Air-Stable Ultrathin Iron Oxide

Abstract

Manual assembly of atomically thin materials into heterostructures with desirable electronic properties is an approach that holds great promise. Despite the rapid expansion of the family of ultrathin materials, stackable and stable ferro/ferri magnets that are functional at room temperature are still out of reach. We report the growth of air-stable, transferable ultrathin iron oxide crystals that exhibit magnetic order at room temperature. These crystals require no passivation and can be prepared by scalable and cost-effective chemical vapor deposition. We demonstrate that the bonding between iron oxide and its growth substrate is van der Waals-like, enabling us to remove the crystals from their growth substrate and prepare iron oxide/graphene heterostructures.

Orientated Growth of Ultrathin Tellurium by van der Waals Epitaxy

Journal Article Zhao, Chunsong ; Batiz, Humberto ; Yasar, Bengisu ; ... - Advanced Materials Interfaces

Abstract Tellurium, as an elemental van der Waals semiconductor, has intriguing anisotropic physical properties owing to its inherent 1D crystal structure. To exploit the anisotropic and thickness‐dependent behavior, it is important to realize orientated growth of ultrathin tellurium. Here, van der Waals epitaxial growth of Te on the surface of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides is systematically investigated. Orientated growth of Te with a thickness down to 5 nm is realized on three‐fold symmetric substrates (WSe ₂ , WS ₂ , MoSe ₂ , and MoS ₂ ), where the atomic chains of Te are aligned with the armchair directions of substrates.more »« less

Room-temperature intrinsic ferromagnetism in epitaxial CrTe₂ ultrathin films

Journal Article Zhang, Xiaoqian ; Lu, Qiangsheng ; Liu, Wenqing ; ... - Nature Communications

While the discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnets opens the door for fundamental physics and next-generation spintronics, it is technically challenging to achieve the room-temperature ferromagnetic (FM) order in a way compatible with potential device applications. Here in this paper, we report the growth and properties of single- and few-layer CrTe₂, a van der Waals (vdW) material, on bilayer graphene by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Intrinsic ferromagnetism with a Curie temperature (TC) up to 300 K, an atomic magnetic moment of ~0.21 μ_B/Cr and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) constant (K_u) of 4.89 × 10⁵ erg/cm³ at room temperature in these few-monolayermore »« less

Ultrathin Ruthenium Films on Graphene Buffered SiO₂ via Quasi Van der Waals Epitaxy

Journal Article Lu, Zonghuan ; Zhang, Lihua ; Wen, Xixing ; ... - ACS Applied Electronic Materials

In this study, we demonstrate a quasi van der Waals epitaxy approach to prepare single crystalline Ru ultrathin film on large scale, monolayer graphene. Physical and epitaxial properties of bulk, near surface and surface of ultrathin Ru films were comprehensively studied using various structural, morphological, compositional, and electrical characterization techniques. Here, we confirm that Ru can epitaxially grow on single, monolayer graphene using magnetron sputtering at elevated temperature of 600 °C. The epitaxial Ru films with film thickness ranging from 94.2 nm down to 3.9 nm show the (0001) out-of-plane orientation. The epitaxial relationships between Ru and graphene are out-of-plane Ru(0001) || graphene(0001) and in-plane Ru[more »« less

Self-organized twist-heterostructures via aligned van der Waals epitaxy and solid-state transformations

Journal Article Sutter, Peter ; Ibragimova, Rina ; Komsa, Hannu-Pekka ; ... - Nature Communications

Abstract Vertical van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures of 2D crystals with defined interlayer twist are of interest for band-structure engineering via twist moiré superlattice potentials. To date, twist-heterostructures have been realized by micromechanical stacking. Direct synthesis is hindered by the tendency toward equilibrium stacking without interlayer twist. Here, we demonstrate that growing a 2D crystal with fixed azimuthal alignment to the substrate followed by transformation of this intermediate enables a potentially scalable synthesis of twisted heterostructures. Microscopy during growth of ultrathin orthorhombic SnS on trigonal SnS ₂ shows that vdW epitaxy yields azimuthal order even for non-isotypic 2D crystals. Excessmore »« less

Tunable room-temperature ferromagnetism in Co-doped two-dimensional van der Waals ZnO

Journal Article Chen, Rui ; Luo, Fuchuan ; Liu, Yuzi ; ... - Nature Communications

AbstractThe recent discovery of ferromagnetism in two-dimensional van der Waals crystals has provoked a surge of interest in the exploration of fundamental spin interaction in reduced dimensions. However, existing material candidates have several limitations, notably lacking intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetic order and air stability. Here, motivated by the anomalously high Curie temperature observed in bulk diluted magnetic oxides, we demonstrate room-temperature ferromagnetism in Co-doped graphene-like Zinc Oxide, a chemically stable layered material in air, down to single atom thickness. Through the magneto-optic Kerr effect, superconducting quantum interference device and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements, we observe clear evidences of spontaneous magnetizationmore »« less
