Ferromagnetic properties of MoS2 film doped by Fe using chemical vapour deposition

Abstract We have investigated the ferromagnetic properties of MoS2 thin film doped by iron using chemical vapour deposition. The structure of film was determined to be poly-crystalline with various phases. The iron doped MoS2 film shows that the ferromagnetic hysteresis appears at room temperature, and also indicated two Curie temperatures. The remnant magnetization and coercive field at room temperature are 36 emu/cm3 and 44 Oe. The elemental atomic concentration of iron doped MoS2 measured by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was 0.69 at.%.
