Design and synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) materials with robust ferromagnetism and biocompatibility is highly desirable due to their potential applications in spintronics and biodevices. However, the hotly pursued 2D sheets including pristine graphene, monolayer BN, and layered transition metal dichalcogenides are nonmagnetic or weakly magnetic. Using biomimetic particle swarm optimization (...

we report the direct soft chemical synthesis and characterization of a family of face centered cubic (fcc) and partially ordered face centered tetragonal (fct) fept nanoparticles (nps) suitable for biomedical applications. both fcc and partially ordered fct-fept nps are synthesized by employing a simple polyol method. by using polyvinyl pyrolidone (pvp) as a stabilizer in various ratios during ...

In recent years, few-layer or even monolayer ferromagnetic materials have drawn a great deal of attention due to the promising integration two-dimensional (2D) magnets into next-generation spintronic devices. The SrRuO3 is rare example stable 2D magnetism under ambient conditions, but only weak ferromagnetism antiferromagnetism has been found. bi-atomic layer as another environmentally inert ma...

Cobalt-doped ZnO samples were prepared by both sol-gel and magnetron sputtering methods, respectively. Co atoms have incorporated into the ZnO lattice and located at the substitutional sites of the Zn atoms in all samples, while the sol-gel prepared Zn1-xCoxO samples show paramagnetism and the sputtering prepared CoyZn1yO samples appear ferromagnetism. The calculated O K-edge X-ray absorption n...

We demonstrate by high resolution low temperature electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) measurements that the long range ferromagnetic (FM) order in the vanadium- (V-)doped topological insulator Sb_{2}Te_{3} has the nature of van Vleck-type ferromagnetism. The positions and the relative amplitudes of two core-level peaks (L_{3} and L_{2}) of the V EELS spectrum show unambiguous change when t...

Nagaoka’s theorem on ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model with one electron fewer than half filling is generalized to the case where all possible nearest-neighbor Coulomb interactions ~the density-density interaction V , bond-charge interaction X , exchange interaction F , and hopping of double occupancies F8) are included. It is shown that for ferromagnetic exchange coupling (F.0) ground states...
