Electrical and anisotropic magnetic properties in layered Mn1/3TaS2 crystals

We report electrical transport and anisotropic magnetic properties of Mn-intercalated 2H-TaS2, a layered transition-metal dichalcogenide with a hexagonal structure. The single crystal MnxTaS2 with x = 1/3 exhibits a transition from paramagnetism to ferromagnetism near 70 K, below which both the magn...

Summary:We report electrical transport and anisotropic magnetic properties of Mn-intercalated 2H-TaS2, a layered transition-metal dichalcogenide with a hexagonal structure. The single crystal MnxTaS2 with x = 1/3 exhibits a transition from paramagnetism to ferromagnetism near 70 K, below which both the magnetoresistance and magnetization properties present strong anisotropic behavior. Its anisotropic magnetoresistance effect and in-plane soft ferromagnetic property suggests that this layered material would be a good candidate for exploring the physics of two-dimensional ferromagnetism.
