Progress in oxygen behaviors in two-dimensional thin films

With the development of spintronics, the investigation on the behavior of oxygen in two-dimensional materials has never ceased. On account of its lively nature, oxygen is hard to exist alone in the system. However, it will interact with other atoms and produce complex orbital hybridization effect, which has influenced the performance of the material. Especially for materials in nanoscale, it is inevitable to introduce the oxygen atoms, no matter what in the process of preparation or employ. Therefore, it is necessary to carry on the research about the effect of oxygen behaviors in the two-dimensional thin films. In this paper, it will mainly introduce the effect of oxygen behaviors on the magnetic properties, electrical properties, phase transition, spin-dependent properties and thermal stability, summarize several factors which influence the oxygen behaviors, and generalize the research progress of the mechanism behind the oxygen behaviors.
