Abstract

Recently, CrSe2, a new ferromagnetic van der Waals two-dimensional material, was discovered to be highly stable under ambient conditions, making it an attractive candidate for fundamental research and potential device applications. Here, we study the interlayer interactions of bilayer CrSe2using first-principles calculations. We demonstrate that the interlayer interaction depends on the stacking structure. The AA and AB stackings exhibit antiferromagnetic (AFM) interlayer interactions, while the AC stacking exhibits ferromagnetic (FM) interlayer interaction. Furthermore, the interlayer interaction can be further tuned by tensile strain and charge doping. Specifically, under large tensile strain, most stacking structures exhibit FM interlayer interactions. Conversely, under heavy electron doping, all stacking structures exhibit AFM interlayer interactions. These findings are useful for designing spintronic devices based on CrSe2.
