Researchers from Nanjing University of Science and Technology, led by Prof. Erjun Kan and Assoc. Prof. Yi Wan, together with Prof. Kaiyou Wang’s team at the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has achieved a breakthrough in the study of two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic semiconductors. Using the CIQTEK Scanning NV Microscope (SNVM), the team successfully demonstrated room-temperature ferromagnetism in the semiconducting material MnS₂. The findings were published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) under the title “Experimental Evidence of Room-Temperature Ferromagnetism in Semiconducting MnS₂.”   https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.5c10107   Pioneering Discovery in 2D Ferromagnetic Semiconductors The discovery of 2D ferromagnetic semiconductors has raised great expectations for advancing Moore’s Law and spintronics in memory and computation. However, most explored 2D ferromagnetic semiconductors exhibit Curie temperatures far below room temperature. Despite theoretical predictions of many potential room-temperature 2D ferromagnetic materials, the experimental synthesis of ordered and stable metastable structures remains a formidable challenge. In this study, the researchers developed a template-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method to synthesize layered MnS₂ microstructures within a ReS₂ template. High-resolution atomic characterizations revealed that the monolayer MnS₂ microstructure crystallized well in a distorted T-phase. The optical bandgap and temperature-dependent carrier mobility confirmed its semiconducting nature. By combining vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), electrical transport measurements, and micro-magnetic imaging using CIQTEK SNVM, the team provided solid experimental evidence of room-temperature ferromagnetism in MnS₂. Electrical transport measurements also revealed an anomalous Hall resistance component in the monolayer samples. Theoretical calculations further indicated that this ferromagnetism originates from short-range Mn–Mn interactions. This work not only confirms the intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetism of layered MnS₂ but also proposes an innovative approach for the growth of metastable functional 2D materials.     Two Key Breakthroughs Intrinsic Room-Temperature Ferromagnetism in MnS₂ Monolayers:The study experimentally demonstrates intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetism in semiconducting MnS₂, resolving the long-standing conflict between semiconductivity and magnetism. Template-Assisted CVD Strategy for Metastable Ferromagnetic Microstructures:The developed synthesis strategy enables scalable fabrication of metastable ferromagnetic microstructures. These advances establish MnS₂ as a model platform for 2D spintronics, offering a new pathway for engineering low-dimensional magnetic materials.   ChatGPT 说： Figure 1: Optical and Magnetic Measurements   Figure 2: Micro-Region Magnetic...

The 15th China Symposium on Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectroscopy was successfully held at Chongqing University from October 24 to 27, 2025. Nearly one hundred experts, scholars, industry representatives, and graduate students gathered to discuss cutting-edge topics in the EPR field, including new techniques and theories, biological spin labeling, and new energy applications.     Grand Launch: CIQTEK Q-Band EPR Spectrometers Make a Stunning Debut As a pioneer in paramagnetic resonance technology, CIQTEK officially unveiled its new Q-band EPR spectrometer series — the EPR-Q400 High-Frequency Pulse Spectrometer and the EPR-Q300 Continuous-Wave Spectrometer, marking another significant milestone in high-frequency EPR technology. Compared with traditional X-band EPR, high-frequency EPR offers: Higher spectral resolution Stronger orientation selectivity Enhanced sensitivity Making it a powerful tool for biomacromolecular structure studies, spin dynamics research, and materials science applications.   Dr. Richard Shi from CIQTEK Introduces the New Q-Band EPR Instruments at the Meeting   Flagship Model: EPR-Q400 High-Frequency Pulse Spectrometer The EPR-Q400, the flagship model of this release, supports both CW and pulsed EPR measurements, meeting a wide range of research demands.
