Gate modulation of the long-range magnetic order in a vanadium-doped WSe2 semiconductor

Abstract
We demonstrate the gate-tunability of the long-range magnetic order in a p-type V-doped WSe2 monolayer using ab initio calculations. We found that at a low V-doping concentration limit, the long-range ferromagnetic order is enhanced by increasing the hole density. In contrast, the short-range antiferromagnetic order is manifested at a high electron density by full compensation of the p-type V doping concentration. The hole-mediated long-range magnetic exchange is ~70 meV, thus strongly suggesting the ferromagnetism in V-doped WSe2 at room temperature. Our findings on strong coupling between charge and spin order in V-doped WSe2 provide plenty of room for multifunctional gate-tunable spintronics.
