A two-dimensional Fe-doped SnS₂ magnetic semiconductor.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic two-dimensional materials have attracted considerable attention for their significant potential application in spintronics. In this study, we present a high-quality Fe-doped SnS₂ monolayer exfoliated using a micromechanical cleavage method. Fe atoms were doped at the Sn atom sites, and the Fe contents are ∼2.1%, 1.5%, and 1.1%. The field-effect transistors based on the Fe_0.021Sn_0.979S₂ monolayer show n-type behavior and exhibit high optoelectronic performance. Magnetic measurements show that pure SnS₂ is diamagnetic, whereas Fe_0.021Sn_0.979S₂ exhibits ferromagnetic behavior with a perpendicular anisotropy at 2 K and a Curie temperature of ~31 K. Density functional theory calculations show that l
