MXene-based Ti₂C/Ta₂C lateral heterostructure: an intrinsic room temperature ferromagnetic material with large magnetic anisotropy

Abstract

A density functional theory investigation of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of the lateral Ti2C/Ta2C heterostructure, revealing a very high Curie temperature, high magnetic moments, and high magnetic anisotropy energies.

First-principles study of the electronic and optical properties of two-dimensional PtS2/GaS van der Waals heterostructure

“…In-plane heterojunctions are monolayers formed by seamless in-plane splicing via covalent bonding, which requires a certain degree of lattice matching of the constituent materials. They show great potential for extensibility and stability with physicochemical properties very different from the pristine components [26][27][28][29]. VdW heterostructures are formed by stacking different 2D materials in the vertical direction via vdW forces and require less lattice matching.…”
