Hematene: a gateway to unique two-dimensional non-van der Waals systems allowing disclosure of emerging magnetic phenomena at nanoscale
Annotation in Czech
Physical properties, represented mainly by magnetism, of ultrathin 2D iron oxides differs from their bulk counterparts. Fundamental understanding of electronic and magnetic characteristics of emerging 2D non-van der Waals systems is crucial for their potential applications such as novel magnetic storage media or even as (photo)catalysts. The project will involve optimization of the exfoliation procedure to gain hematene sheets with controlled thickness and subsequent comprehensive quantitative investigation of their electromagnetic, structural, and morphological properties through combination of experimental and DFT modelling approach. Related 2D iron oxides, carbides, nitrides, and metallic iron will be derived from an adjusted hematene precursor by thermal processes and their surface will be modified by single metal atoms/clusters/monolayers of Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Fe. Computational modelling will aim to explore the dependence of electronic and magnetic properties on the thickness of the 2D iron-based materials and the influence of surface atoms on local and global magnetic phenomena.
