Abstract
Utilizing first-principle calculations, the biaxial tensile strain modulating magnetic states and electronic structures of transition metal (TM) (i.e., Mn, Fe, Sc, Ni and Ti) atoms doped in stanene are investigated. It shows that Mn and Fe doped stanene systems are magnetic, while the Sc, Ti and Ni doped stanene systems are nonmagnetic. When the biaxial tensile strain increases, a weaker antiferromagnetic coupling between the nearest neighbor (NN) Sn atoms and Mn (Fe, Ti) atom is observed. For Sc and Ni doped stanene systems, the biaxial strain doesn't introduce spin polarization for the TM atoms. In a word, the TM atoms doped stanene systems may manifest potential applications in nanoelectronics, spintronics and magnetic storage devices.
