摘要:

自从科学家首次分离出单层石墨烯以来,二维(2D)范德华(vdW)材料一直是一个令人兴奋的研究领域。单层磁性材料可以为具有磁性的vdW异质结构提供途径。虽然大多数磁性vdW材料在块体中表现出有序相变,但在这里我们报告了三角晶格S=1反铁磁体NiGa$_2$S$_4$的成功剥离,该材料在块体中已经表现出奇异的磁性。我们通过原子力显微镜(AFM)确定了材料的层数,并利用拉曼和光学光谱进行了仔细的表征,以展示NiGa$_2$S$_4$的光学、电子和结构性质如何随样品厚度变化。对块体和单层NiGa$_2$S$_4$的光学测量和电子结构计算证实该材料是一种莫特绝缘体,电子带隙约为1.5 eV,对于低于10层的薄膜,带隙略有增加。最后,我们理论分析了通过邻近金属掺杂单层NiGa$_2$S$_4$的可能性。

英文摘要:

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials have been an exciting area of research ever since scientists first isolated a single layer of graphene. Single layer magnetic materials can provide a pathway for vdW heterostructures with magnetic properties. While most of the magnetic vdW materials exhibit ordering transitions in the bulk, here we report a successful exfoliation of a triangular lattice S=1 antiferromagnet NiGa$_2$S$_4$, which already demonstrates exotic magnetism in the bulk material. We establish the number of layers of the material by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and detail a careful characterization using Raman and optical spectroscopy to demonstrate how the optical, electronic, and structural properties of NiGa$_2$S$_4$ change as a function of sample thickness. Optical measurements and electronic structure calculations of bulk versus monolayer NiGa$_2$S$_4$ confirm the material to be a Mott insulator with an electronic gap of about 1.5 eV, which slightly increases for layers below 10 L. We conclude with a theoretical analysis of the possibility of doping monolayer NiGa$_2$S$_4$ by proximity to a metal.
