The magnetic order associated with the degree of freedom of spin in two-dimensional (2D) materials is subjected to intense investigation because of its potential application in 2D spintronics and valley-related magnetic phenomena. We report here a bottom-up strategy using molecular beam epitaxy to grow and dope large-area (cm$^2$) few-layer MoSe$_2$ with Mn as a magnetic dopant. High-quality Mn-doped MoSe$_2$ layers are obtained for Mn content of less than 5 % (atomic). When increasing the Mn content above 5 % we observe a clear transition from layer-by-layer to cluster growth. Magnetic measurements involving a transfer process of the cm$^2$-large doped layers on 100-micron-thick silicon substrate, show plausible proof of high-temperature ferromagnetism of 1 % and 10 % Mn-doped MoSe$_2$. Although we could not point to a correlation between magnetic and electrical properties, we demonstrate that the transfer process described in this report permits to achieve conventional electrical and magnetic measurements on the doped layers transferred on any substrate. Therefore, this study provides a promising route to characterize stable ferromagnetic 2D layers, which is broadening the current start-of-the-art of 2D materials-based applications.
Large-area growth of continuous transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) layers is a prerequisite to transfer their exceptional electronic and optical properties into practical devices. It still represents an open issue nowadays. Electric and magneti
Research on two-dimensional materials has expanded over the past two decades to become a central theme in condensed matter research today. Significant advances have been made in the synthesis and subsequent reassembly of these materials using mechani
Scalable fabrication of magnetic 2D materials and heterostructures constitutes a crucial step for scaling down current spintronic devices and the development of novel spintronic applications. Here, we report on van der Waals (vdW) epitaxy of the laye
The properties of metal-semiconductor junctions are often unpredictable because of non-ideal interfacial structures, such as interfacial defects or chemical reactions introduced at junctions. Black phosphorus (BP), an elemental two-dimensional (2D) s
The electrical detection of the surface states of topological insulators is strongly impeded by the interference of bulk conduction, which commonly arises due to pronounced doping associated with the formation of lattice defects. As exemplified by th
