Graphical Abstract

Based on a chemical vapor deposition synthetic approach utilizing liquid-phase precursors comprising a mixture of Na2MoO4 and VOSO4, we fabricated V-doped MoS2 to explore the source of room-temperature ferromagnetism triggered by doping, along with the correlation among doping concentration, growth temperature, and ferromagnetism. Furthermore, we observed a transition induced by doping from n-type to p-type conductivity.

Abstract

The integrated circuits based on carrier charge have neared their physical limits, which are constrained by the von Neumann architecture and incapable of meeting the demands for information storage, processing, and transmission from the rapid advancements in mass data and artificial intelligence. Recently discovered two-dimensional magnets, with their strengths in multi-field manipulation and high-density heterogeneous integration, have presented significant opportunities for the development of novel devices such as compute-in-memory. However, generating stable magnetic order in two-dimensional systems at room temperature is still difficult. Here, we have devised a liquid-phase precursor-assisted chemical vapor deposition methodology for the synthesis of vanadium-doped MoS2 monolayers. Magnetic measurements showed an augmentation of magnetic signals concurrent with an increase in growth temperature and doping concentration. Field-effect transistor assessments using the synthesized V-doped MoS2 monolayer as the conducting channel indicated a transition from n-type semiconducting to p-type at a doping concentration of around 6.8%, further corroborated by theoretical computations. Our study not only presents a novel synthetic approach toward the production of two-dimensional magnetic materials but also elucidates the potential of doping procedures for modulating electrical characteristics.
