From: Strain-mediated ferromagnetism and low-field magnetic reversal in Co doped monolayer \(WS_2\)

Orbital decomposed partial density of states (PDOS) of Co-doped \(WS_2\) ML at (a) − 2%, (b) 0% and (c) +2%. (d) d-orbital splitting of Co-dopant at various applied strain. \(\Delta _{ex}\) and \(\Delta _{cf}\) represents the intra-atomic Hund’s exchange splitting and crystal field splitting, respectively. (e) The exchange splitting (\(\Delta _{ex}\)) and crystal filled splitting (\(\Delta _{cf}\)) at various applied compressive and tensile strains. The vertical arrow indicates the separation between \(\Delta _{ex}\) and \(\Delta _{cf}\).
