Magnetic Transition in Monolayer VSe2 via Interface Hybridization

Abstract

Magnetism in monolayer (ML) VSe2 has attracted broad interest in spintronics while existing reports have not reached consensus. Using element-specific X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, a magnetic transition in ML VSe2 has been demonstrated at the contamination-free interface between Co and VSe2. Via interfacial hybridization with Co atomic overlayer, a magnetic moment of about 0.4 uB per V atom in ML VSe2 is revealed, approaching values predicted by previous theoretical calculations. Promotion of the ferromagnetism in ML VSe2 is accompanied by its antiferromagnetic coupling to Co and a reduction in the spin moment of Co. In comparison to the absence of this interface-induced ferromagnetism at the Fe/MLMoSe2 interface, these findings at the Co/ML-VSe2 interface provide clear proof that the ML VSe2, initially with magnetic disorder, is on the verge of magnetic transition.
