By utilizing the magnetic proximity effect and biaxial strain, the magnetic ground state, band gap enhancement, and valley polarization in WSe2/CrSnSe3 heterostructures can be controlled. Different magnetic anisotropy and Curie temperatures were observed in pristine and strained structures. Strain also enhanced valley splittings, providing a potential method to tune the valley splitting in the heterostructures.
Magnetic proximity effect can be used to tailor the magnetic ground state and valley polarization in the monolayer of transition metal dichalcogenides. Thus, we explore the effect of biaxial tensile and compressive strain on valley polarization in the WSe2/CrSnSe3 heterostructures with different stacking orders systematically. The indirect band gaps in the two most stable stackings; hollow (0.27 eV) and top (0.33 eV) were further enhanced to 0.35 eV under tensile strain while suppressed to almost 0.13 eV under compressive strain. The heterostructures had a FM ground state with a total magnetic moment per unit cell of 6 mu (B) in pristine as well as strained structures. In hollow stacking and compressively strained structures, we obtained a perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy, while the top stacking and tensile strain structures had small in-plane anisotropy. An enhancement was found in Curie temperature from 73 K in pristine to 128 K in a 6% tensile strained structure. The valley splittings found in pristine hollow (4 meV) and top (9 meV) stacked heterostructures were further enhanced to 29 meV and 22 meV at 5% compressive strain respectively. This enhancement was attributed to the increased spatial dependence of the charge density along K+ and K- directions of the Brillouin zone, which give rise to the different local dipolar fields at these valleys. Our results suggest that strain could be an effective way to control or tune the valley splitting in WSe2/CrSnSe3 heterostructures.
