Abstract:
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide MnSe2(2D-MnSe2) with Curie temperature approximate to 300 K has a significant spintronic application on thin-film devices. We demonstrate theoretically a tunable magnetic transition of 2D-MnSe2between anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) metal and ferromagnetic (FM) half metal as strain increasing. Mechanism of that transition involves a competition betweend-p-dthrough-bond andd-ddirect interaction in 2D-MnSe2. Hole doping is an alternative way to enhance the stability of FM coupling. Adsorption (including Li, Na, Cl and F) and vacancy (Mn and Se) studies confirm that the controllable magnetism of 2D-MnSe2is related to both interaction competition and charge doping. Tensile strains can greatly amplify through-bond interaction and exchange parameters, resulting in a sharp increase of Curie temperature.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
