Prediction of Two-Dimensional Janus Transition-Metal Chalcogenides: Robust Ferromagnetic Semiconductor with High Curie Temperature.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic semiconductors (FM SCs) provide an ideal platform for the development of quantum information technology in nanoscale devices. However, many developed 2D FM materials present a very low Curie temperature (T_C), greatly limiting their application in spintronic devices. In this work, we predict two stable 2D transition metal chalcogenides, V₃Se₃X₂ (X = S, Te) monolayers, by using first-principles calculations. Our results show that the V₃Se₃Te₂ monolayer is a robust bipolar magnetic SC with a moderate bandgap of 0.53 eV, while V₃Se₃S₂ is a direct band-gap FM SC with a bandgap of 0.59 eV. Interestingly, the ferromagnetisms of both monolayers are robust
