In this work, we explore the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of monolayer CoCl2 grown epitaxially on Au(111) using a multitechnique approach. Our results reveal that epitaxial CoCl2 exhibits ferromagnetic order below 24 K with strong in-plane magnetic anisotropy, setting it apart from other TMDH materials. Additionally, we identify in-gap states arising from the CoCl2–Au(111) interface, which provide insights into its electronic behavior. These findings position CoCl2 as a versatile 2D material for spintronic applications and nanoscale devices, bridging the gap between fundamental research and real-world technological solutions. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E12-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/101064332/EU/Addressing molecular spin qubits by ESR-STM/QMOLESR This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 101064332-QMOLESR info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIU/PID2020-114252GB-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/MCIU/TED2021-130292B-C42 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/MCIU/TED2021-132388B-C43 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN AEI/PID2022-138750NB-C21 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCINN/PID2022-140845OB-C63 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCINN/PID2022-140845OB-C65 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Hadjadj, Sebastien Elie Aguirre-Baños, Andrea Longo, Danilo Pinar Solé, Andrés Stetsovych, Oleksandr Candia, Adriana Elizabet Angulo-Portugal, Paula Caldevilla, David Choueikani, Fadi Corso, Martina Serrate Donoso, David (orcid)0000-0002-3260-9641 Lobo-Checa, Jorge (orcid)0000-0003-2698-2543 Jelínek, Pavel Ilyn, Maxim Rogero, Celia 19, 22 (2025), 20693-20701 ACS Nano ACS NANO 1936-0851 10955686 http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/161092/files/texto_completo.pdf Versión publicada 3115534 http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/161092/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon icon Versión publicada oai:zaguan.unizar.es:161092 articulos driver 2025-10-17-14:26:56 ARTICLE
