Pervasive beyond room-temperature ferromagnetism in a doped van der Waals magnet: Ni doped Fe${}_5$GeTe${}_2$ with $T_{\text{C}}$ up to 478 K

Abstract

The existence of long range magnetic order in low dimensional magnetic systems, such as the quasi-two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnets, has attracted intensive studies of new physical phenomena. The vdW Fe${}_N$GeTe${}_2$ ($N$ = 3, 4, 5; FGT) family is exceptional owing to its vast tunability of magnetic properties. Particularly, a ferromagnetic ordering temperature ($T_{\text{C}}$) above room temperature at $N$ = 5 (F5GT) is observed. Here, our study shows that, by nickel (Ni) substitution of iron (Fe) in F5GT, a record high $T_{\text{C}}$ = 478(6) K is achieved. Importantly, pervasive, beyond-room-temperature ferromagnetism exists in almost the entire doping range of the phase diagram of Ni-F5GT. We argue that this striking observation in Ni-F5GT can be possibly due to several contributing factors, in which the structural alteration enhanced 3D magnetic couplings might be critical for enhancing the ferromagnetic order.
