Two-dimensional (2D) materials with robust ferromagnetism properties have high potentials for application in the field of spintronics. However, extensively pursued 2D sheets, including pure graphene, monolayer BN, and layered transition metal dichalcogenides, are either nonmagnetic or weakly magnetic. The elastic, electronic and magnetic properties of monolayer CrN are calculated using the plane wave pseudo potential method based on first-principles density function theory. Upon determining through calculation that the structure of the monolayer CrN nanosheet is stable, its layer modulus [Formula: see text] shows that its strain resistance is stronger than that of graphene. Through strain analysis, materials with a monolayer CrN type of structure can be obtained. It is determined that 10% of the change in equilibrium area is still applicable to the 2D EOS, showing that this structure is quite stable. The spin-polarized electronic band structure is also calculated under different plane symmetry strains. The plane strain can be used to effectively adjust the metallic and magnetic properties of the material. Analyses of the band structure and density of states reveal that this material is half-metallic, where the origin of the ferromagnetism is related to [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] exchange interactions between the Cr and N atoms. Monolayer CrN has semimetallic properties and strong ferromagnetic (FM) properties. The FM effect can enhance the stability of the material. The results show that monolayer CrN is a semimetallic material with good elastic properties and a strong FM property. This material is therefore expected to have good application rospects in the field of spin electronics.

The structural stability and magnetic properties of the cubic and tetragonal phases of Mn3Z (Z = Ga, In, Tl, Ge, Sn, Pb) Heusler alloys are studied by using first-principles calculations. It is found that with the increasing of the atomic radius of Z atom, the more stable phase varies from the cubic to the tetragonal structure. With increasing tetragonal distortion, the magnetic moments of Mn (A/C and B) atoms change in a regular way, which can be traced back to the change of the relative distance and the covalent hybridization between the atoms.

First-principles study based on density functional theory has been employed to investigate width-dependent structural stability and magnetic properties of monolayer zigzag MoS2 nanoribbons (ZZ-MoS2 NRs). The width N = 4–6 (the numbers of zigzag Mo–S chains along the ribbon length) are considered. The results show that all studied ZZ-MoS2 NRs are less stable than two-dimensional MoS2 monolayer, exhibiting that a broader width ribbon behaves better structural stability and an inversely proportional relationship between the structural stability (or the ribbon with) and boundary S–Mo interaction. Electronic states imply that all ZZ-MoS2 NRs exhibit magnetic properties, regardless of their widths. Total magnetic moment increases with the increasing width N, which is mainly ascribed to the decreasing S–Mo interaction of the two zigzag edges. In order to confirm this reason, a uniaxial tension strain is applied to ZZ-MoS2 NRs. It has been found that, with the increasing tension strain, the bond length of boundary S–Mo increases, at the same time, the magnetic moment increases also. Our results suggest the rational applications of ZZ-MoS2 NRs in nanoelectronics and spintronics.
