Article Abstract
Thickness-dependent magnetic behavior has previously been observed in chemical vapor deposition-grown chromium selenide. However, the low-dimensional structure in nonlayered chromium selenide, which plays a crucial role in determining the low-dimensional magnetic order, needs further study. Here, we report the structure-dependent magnetic properties in monolayer CrSe and CrSe grown by molecular beam epitaxy. In the monolayer CrSe, 1T-CrSe with a lattice constant of 3.3 Å has a metallic character, coexisting with the 1T″ phase with 2 × 2 surface periodicity. Monolayer CrSe can be transformed into CrSe with a lattice constant of 3.6 Å by annealing at 300 °C. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements combined with DFT calculations reveal that while the MBE-grown monolayer CrSe is antiferromagnetic, monolayer CrSe is ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature of ∼200 K. This work demonstrates the structural diversity in nonlayered chromium selenide and the critical effect of different structures on its electronic and magnetic properties.

Recent breakthroughs in two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials have unveiled intriguing phenomena in low-dimensional ferromagnetic (FM) systems. However, their integration into spintronic devices faces challenges due to the predominant in-plane (IP) orientation of the easy magnetization axis. Achieving nonvolatile electrical control over magnetic anisotropy in such systems is essential for advancing next-generation spintronic technologies.

The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials ushers in the engineering of future magnetoelectric nanodevices and spintronics, however, it is limited by the lack of a material platform with simultaneously large magnetic anisotropy and high transition temperature. Using a recently synthesized CrSemonolayer as a demonstration, the impact on magnetism and electronics is studied via first-principles calculations by functionalizing the monolayer with electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups namely NHand NO. The magnetic ground state of the CrSechanges from the stripe antiferromagnetic to the ferromagnetic state after functionalization.

The valley polarization, induced by the magnetic proximity effect, in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), has attracted significant attention due to the intriguing fundamental physics. However, the enhancement and modulation of valley polarization for real device applications is still a challenge. Here, using first-principles calculations we investigate the valley polarization properties of monolayer TMDCs CrS and CrSe and how to enhance the valley polarization by constructing Janus CrSSe (with an internal electric field) and modulate the polarization in CrSSe by applying external electric fields.

Phase engineering of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D-TMDs) offers opportunities for exploring unique phase-specific properties and achieving new desired functionalities. Here, we report a phase-selective in-plane heteroepitaxial method to grow semiconducting H-phase CrSe. The lattice-matched MoSe nanoribbons are utilized as the in-plane heteroepitaxial template to seed the growth of H-phase CrSe with the formation of MoSe-CrSe heterostructures.
