Layer-dependent magnetic phase diagram in FenGeTe2 (3 ≤n≤7) ultrathin films: coexistence of localized and itinerant electronic states of Fe with variable valence
Abstract:Two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnets with high Curie temperature (TC) are highly desirable due to their potential applications in spintronic devices. However, they are rarely obtained in experiments mainly due to the challenge of synthesizing high-quality 2D crystals, and their TC values are below the room temperature. By first-principles calculations, herein we design a family of stable 2D FenGeTe2 (4≤n≤7) ultrathin films that are similar to the reported Fe3GeTe2, which exhibit coexistence of itinerant and local… Show more
