Various stable 2D phosphorus allotropes have been experimentally synthesized or theoretically predicted, such as puckered blackα-, puckered blueβ-, and buckledɛ-phosphorene. Here, we present a systematic study of the magnetic properties ofɛ-phosphorene doped with 3dtransition-metal (TM) atoms, as well as its gas-sensing capabilities, using first-principles and non-equilibrium Green's function formalism. Our results show that 3dTM dopants strongly bind ontoɛ-phosphorene. Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co-dopedɛ-phosphorene exhibit spin polarization with magnetic moments up to 6 µB, stemming from exchange and crystal-field splitting of the 3dorbital. Among them, V-dopedɛ-phosphorene exhibits the highest Curie temperature.

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...
