Parallel magnetic anisotropy in few layers MoS2 films

Parallel magnetic anisotropy in few layers MoS₂ films

Abstract: Many efforts have been made recently to develop new materials that can be applied in more efficient data storage devices, such as 2D magnetic materials. MoS₂ is the most studied 2D material beyond graphene due to its unique optical, electronic, mechanical and magnetic properties. This paper presents a systematic study of magnetic anisotropy in MoS₂ sheets prepared by liquid exfoliation method. We have applied an extension method in order to obtain ferromagnetic anisotropy by separating paramagnetic contribution from total magnetic anisotropy. MoS₂ thin films exhibit ferromagnetic order on 2D-MoS₂ remaining until room temperature and a magnetization easy plane.
