Exfoliated MoS2 monolayers as substrates for magnetic materials

Abstract

Monomolecular layers of MoS2 are used as substrates for the preparation of fine particles of magnetic materials. Particles of Ni, Co, and Fe and their alloys and various ferrites, hydroxides, and carbides have been produced. Some of these particles have magnetizations and coercivity values suitable for use in information storage technologies. Although attempts to produce multilayers of (MoS2/Fen)m by chemical methods have not succeeded, new pathways to improved magnetic materials have been found.<UFDA>
