Transition metal dichalcogenide MoS2 is a two-dimensional material, attracting much attention for next-generation applications thanks to rich functionalities stemming from its crystal structure. Many experimental and theoretical works have focused on the spin-orbit interaction which couples the valley and spin degrees of freedom so that the spin-states can be electrically controllable. However, the spin-states of charge carriers and atomic vacancies in devices have not been yet elucidated directly from a microscopic viewpoint. Here, we report the spin-states in thin-film transistors using operando electron spin resonance spectroscopy. We have observed clearly different electron spin resonance signals of the conduction electrons and atomic vacancies, and distinguished the corresponding spin-states from the signals and theoretical calculations, evaluating the gate-voltage dependence and the spin-susceptibility and g-factor temperature dependence. This analysis gives deep insight into the MoS2 magnetism and clearly indicates different spin-scattering mechanisms compared to graphene, which will be useful for improvements of the device characteristics and new applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
