Abstract:

Exploring magnetism in otherwise nonmagnetic twodimensional materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, is at the heart of spintronics research. In this talk, we will present our recent findings on the possibility of reaching an atomic-scale perpendicular magnetic anisotropy by carefully exploring the large spinorbit coupling, orbital magnetism, and ligand field in a suitable choice of a two-dimensional material with transition metal ad atoms. We will also discuss towards promising approaches for manipulating magnetism and magnetization vector in two dimensional nanostructures by an external stimulus, that is, forming the tetrahedral sp3-metallic d hybrid bonds, strain effect, or applying an electric field.
