China Submitted 9 December 2016 Resubmitted 22 December 2016 DOI: 10.7868/S0370274X17040105 Two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets have been wildly studied due to their exotic physics and potential applications in nanoelectric devices. <...> Similar toMoS2, a new 2D TMD, ReS2, has been fabricated and received a lot of attentions. <...> As is well known, transition-metal (TM) atoms could induce magnetism, scattering and superconduction at a low doping concentration and modify the electronic structure obviously. <...> It may exhibit novel and intriguing properties for studying TM atoms doped ReS2 monolayer. <...> Thus, we systematically examine the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of ReS2 monolayer doping with differentTM(TM=Co,Cu,Mn, Fe, and Ni) atoms, as shown in Fig. 1a. <...> Magnetism is observed in the cases of Co, Fe, and Ni. <...> Among three magnetic cases, the Co-doped system shows a largest magnetic moment. <...> Therefore, the interaction between two-Co-doped ReS2 monolayer is further studied, and several possible configurations of Co dopants are shown in Fig. 1b. <...> A ferromagnetic (FM) coupling induced by the p−d hybridization between Co and S atoms is observed. <...> However, the FM coupling is obviously depressed by the increasing Co–Co distance, which can be well described using a simple Heisenberg model based on Zener theory (Fig. 1c). <...> Such interesting phenomena might be suitable for potential applications in electronics and spintronics. <...> Our full text of the article will be published in the “JETP Letters” journal. <...> Full text of the paper <...>
