Description

The only magnetic grade CoPS3 vdW crystals in the commercial market. Our customers knows that slim amount of defects and magnetic impurities are sufficient to mask the observation of exotic magnetic behavior from 2D magnets. Our vdW magnets are created using state-of-the-art techniques to provide highest magnetic quality crystals through slow but high quality self-flux technique without using any contaminating transport agents.

Cobalt thiophosphate (CoPS3) is a promising 2D anisotropic semiconducting material with unique magnetic properties. The properties of CoPS3 vdW crystals as well as monolayers still remain relatively unknown but limited literature suggests that it exhibits Neel temperature at 120K and the in-plane magnetic orders is much unique and novel to this particular material itself [A R Wildes et al 2017 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 29 455801]. 

Crystal growth technique and elimination of magnetic impurities. How can one ensure the measured magnetic signal is not coming from impurities in vdW crystals? More specifically magnetic Fe, Co, Ni impurity atoms or their oxides commonly appear in vdW crystals in no care is taken. Our CoPS3 crystals are grown by flux zone growth technique which does not use any transporting agent and does not contaminate the crystal these impurities. Special care is given to using highest purity precursors that are free of magnetic transition metal series and their oxides . This allows us to synthesize 99.9995% purity CoPS3 magnetic vdW crystals and access their magnetic behavior without any concern over magnetic impurity contribution. The crystal size is outlined in the images above.We note that this material is very hard to synthesize and stabilize in 1:1:3 stoichiometry. For that reason, each order contains one crystal that measures ~3-4 mm in size which is sufficient for 6 months exfoliation for an experienced user.
