Freestanding Monolayer CrOCl By means of Chemical Exfoliation


Magnetic two-dimensional (2D) supplies are a novel class of quantum supplies that may exhibit attention-grabbing magnetic phenomena, akin to layer-dependent magnetism. Essentially the most important barrier to 2D magnet discovery and research lies in our capability to exfoliate supplies all the way down to the monolayer restrict. Subsequently designing exfoliation strategies that produce clear, monolayer sheets is essential for the expansion of 2D materials analysis. On this work, we develop a facile chemical exfoliation methodology utilizing lithium naphthalenide for acquiring 2D nanosheets of magnetic van der Waals materials CrOCl. Utilizing our optimized methodology, we get hold of freestanding monolayers of CrOCl, with the thinnest measured peak so far. We additionally present magnetic characterization of bulk, intercalated intermediate, and nanosheet pellet CrOCl, displaying that exfoliated nanosheets of CrOCl exhibit magnetic order. The outcomes of this research spotlight the tunability of the chemical exfoliation methodology, together with offering a easy methodology for acquiring 2D CrOCl.
