Ferromagnetic InMoTe3 monolayer with strain-modulated magnetic interactions and Curie temperature

Two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic semiconductors with high Curie temperature (TC) and magnetic tunability have garnered significant research interest owing to their immense potential in the realm of spintronic devices. Herein, 2D Ising ferromagnetic semiconductor InMoTe3 monolayer with robust ferromagnetic coupling and TC above room temperature is predicted. Additionally, it has been shown that biaxial strain can notably affect the magnetic interactions and TC of InMoTe3 monolayer. The findings in this study suggest that InMoTe3 monolayer holds promise as a candidate for spintronic device applications, thereby encouraging further theoretical and experimental investigations in this field.
