Abstract
Pursuing two-dimensional (2D) intrinsic ferromagnetism with high Curie temperature and great mechanical flexibility has attracted great interest in flexible spintronics. In the present work, we carried out a density functional theory (DFT) investigation on the 2D M2Se3 (M=Co, Ni and Pd) monolayers to understand their structural stabilities, electronic, magnetic and mechanical properties. Our results show that the Co2Se3 monolayer exhibits a fascinating half-metallic ferromagnetism with high Curie temperature (>700K). In addition, due to their unique buckling hinge-like structure, M2Se3 monolayers possess the large out-of-plane negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) and superior mechanical flexibility evidenced by their unusual critical strain two times greater than the well-known 2D materials. These findings imply that 2D M2Se3 family is the promising materials for the applications in the flexible and high-density spintronic nanodevices.
