High Curie temperature ferromagnetism has been realized in atomically thin MoS2 and WS2 nanosheets. The ultrathin nanosheet samples were prepared via a novel, simple and efficient chemical vapor deposition method; different kinds of transition metal disulfides (MoS2 and WS2) could be obtained by sulphuring the corresponding cation sources (MoO3 and WCl6). Through related morphological and structural characterization, we confirm that large-area, uniform, few-layer MoS2 and WS2 nanosheets were…

Experimental and theoretical evidence for the ferromagnetic edge in WSe2 nanosheets.
TLDR
By combining macro/micro-magnetic experimental measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is demonstrated that among five possible edge-terminated WSe2 nanosheets only two types have a magnetic ground state, corresponding to the 100% Se edge terminated and 50%Se edge terminated nanosheeets, respectively.
