Two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising candidates for next-generation electronic devices. In this regime, insulating 2D ferromagnets, which remain rare, are of special importance due to their potential for enabling new device architectures. Here we report the discovery of ferromagnetism in a layered van der Waals semiconductor, VI3, which is based on honeycomb vanadium layers separated by an iodine-iodine van der Waals gap. It has a BiI3-type structure (R-3, No.148) at room temperature, and our experimental evidence suggests that it may undergo a subtle structural phase transition at 78 K. VI3 becomes ferromagnetic at 49 K, below which magneto-optical Kerr effect imaging clearly shows ferromagnetic domains, which can be manipulated by the applied external magnetic field. The optical band gap determined by reflectance measurements is 0.6 eV, and the material is highly resistive.
We report structural, physical properties and electronic structure of van der Waals (vdW) crystal VI3. Detailed analysis reveals that VI3 exhibits a structural transition from monoclinic C2/m to rhombohedral R-3 at Ts ~ 79 K, similar to CrX3 (X = Cl,
A narrow-gap ferromagnetic In(1-x)Mn(x)Sb semiconductor alloy was successfully grown by low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy on CdTe/GaAs hybrid substrates. Ferromagnetic order in In(1-x)Mn(x)Sb was unambiguously established by the observation of c
We report a photoinduced change of the coercive field, i.e., a photocoercivity effect (PCE), under very low intensity illumination of a low-doped (Ga,Mn)As ferromagnetic semiconductor. We find a strong correlation between the PCE and the sample resis
A new diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor (Sr,Na)(Zn,Mn)2As2 is reported, in which charge and spin doping are decoupled via Sr/Na and Zn/Mn substitutions, respectively, being distinguished from classic (Ga,Mn)As where charge & spin doping are simulta
Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials emerge in recent years as a new platform to host novel electronic, optical or excitonic physics and develop unprecedented nanoelectronic and energy applications. By definition, these materials are strongly aniso
