Tuning Magnetism in Layered Magnet VI${}_3$: A Theoretical Study

Abstract

When combined with transition metals with partially filled $d$-orbitals, magnetism can be incorporated in two-dimensional materials, which greatly expands the scope for fundamental researches and potential applications of these materials. Here, a first-principles study of a new two-dimensional ferromagnet VI${}_3$ has been carried out. The structural symmetry, magnetic and electronic properties of VI${}_3$ in its bulk and single layer forms have been confirmed and predicted, respectively. Its ferromagnetic Curie temperature is predicted to be reduced by half in its monolayer form. In addition, the cation substitution in its monolayer have also been studied, which can significantly tune the magnetism.
