Magnetic NiFe thin films composing MoS2 nanostructures for spintronic application.

We demonstrate a nanostructure layer made of Ni₈₀Fe₂₀ (permalloy:Py) thin film conjugated MoS₂ nano-flakes. Layers are made based on a single-step co-deposition of Py and MoS₂ from a single solution where ionic Ni and Fe and MoS₂ flakes co-exist. Synthesized thin films with MoS₂ flakes show increasing coercivity and enhancement in magneto-optical Kerr effect. Ferromagnetic resonance linewidth as well as the damping parameter increaseed significantly compared to that of the Py layer due to the presence of MoS₂. Raman spectroscopy and elemental mapping is used to show the quality of MoS₂ within the Py thin film. Our synthesis method promises new opportunities for electrochemical production of functional spintronic-based devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
