Magnetic Elements Doped WTe₂

Doping WTe₂ (tungsten ditelluride) with magnetic ions presents a promising avenue for inducing magnetic ordering within this crystal structure, potentially opening new doors for various practical applications. Our research investigates the effects of doping WTe₂ single crystals with different magnetic ions—specifically iron (Fe), vanadium (V), and chromium (Cr). We compare the magnetic and structural properties of these doped crystals, examining both annealed and unannealed states, to understand the influence of the doping process and subsequent heat treatments.<br/>Key findings from our study indicate significant alterations in the physical properties of WTe₂ upon doping, suggesting the successful incorporation of magnetic ions into the crystal lattice. The comparative analysis between doped and undoped WTe₂ provides insight into how each type of dopant and thermal treatment affects the overall magnetic behavior and stability of the crystals. These observations could pave the way for tailoring the magnetic properties of WTe₂ for specific technological applications, such as in spintronic devices or magnetic sensors, where controlled magnetic ordering is crucial.
