Magnetoconductance and carrier density of 2D hybrid devices. a The mean of normalized magneto-conductivity with respect to zero-field value (σ xx (B)/σ xx (B = 0)) at 390 K (spin triplet state of QDTP) for 10 different samples from each hybrid has been plotted to show the consistency of the result. The colored region (red for MoS2 and green for graphene) depicts the s.d. ( ± σ) of the data for each magnetic field. Graphene–QDTP hybrid (black) shows large negative differential magneto-conductivity \((\Delta {\sigma_{xx}}{\vert}_{{\rm 390} \,{\rm K}}=-2.5 \,{e}^2/{h})\) at 390 K, compared with room temperature. In contrast, MoS2–QDTP hybrid (red) shows large positive differential magneto-conductivity \((\Delta {\sigma_{xx}}{\vert}_{{\rm 390} \,{\rm K}}=+0.23 \,{e}^2/{h})\) at 390 K, compared with room temperature. b Mean of normalized carrier density (n exp/n 300K) as a function of temperature (300–390 K). S.D. for each data point has been shown in colored filling ( ± σ). Graphene–QDTP hybrid (black) shows a gradual decrease of carrier density in the given temperature window from its room temperature value (n 390 K/n 300 K ~ 0.5), calculated from the theoretical fit of raw σ xx (B) data, shown in Supplementary Fig. 5, and Supplementary Table 3. In contrast, MoS2–QDTP hybrid (red) shows a sharp increase of carrier density at 370 K (spin transition temperature of QDTP), and reaches 10 times larger value at 400 K from its room temperature value. Inset: Magnetoconductance (MC) of the two hybrid devices. Graphene—QDTP hybrid (black) shows a negative MC of 50%, while MoS2 – QDTP hybrid (red) shows large positive MC of 100% with a sharp jump around 370 K
