Magnetism in Semiconducting Molybdenum Dichalcogenides
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are interesting for understanding the fundamental physics of two-dimensional (2D) materials as well as for applications to many emerging technologies, including spin electronics. Here, we report the discovery of long-range magnetic order below TM = 40 and 100 K in bulk semiconducting TMDs 2H-MoTe2 and 2H-MoSe2, respectively, by means of muon spin rotation (μSR), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
Chinese Molybdenum Price - Dec. 28, 2018
Chinese molybdenum price continues its downward trend as bad trading atmosphere released by stainless steel market affects the whole market. Purchasers remain low buying appetite and seek for a lower buying price.
China Molybdenum Prices - Dec. 27, 2018
China molybdenum prices continued to decline in the week to Thursday December 27. Steel mills delayed to call for bids for ferro molybdenum, resulting in low trading activity in ferro molybdenum and molybdenum concentrate markets. In addition, under the capital shortage at the end of the year, sellers raised the willingness of sales. Transaction prices of ferro molybdenum and molybdenum oxide dropped slightly.
Ferro Molybdenum Price - Dec. 26, 2018
Molybdenum market quotation in China: the latest prices of ferro molybdenum, molybdenum concentrate and molybdenum oxide declined sharply in the midweek December 26 due to poor performance in steel tenders.
China Molybdenum Price - Dec. 25, 2018
China molybdenum price continued its downward trend at the end of 2018, greatly affected by the decline in prices and quantity of steel tenders. Prices of ferromolybdenum, sodium molybdate and ammonium molybdate dropped slightly in the week to Tuesday December 25.
Molybdenum Powder Price - Dec. 24, 2018
Molybdenum market quotation in China: prices of ferromolybdenum, molybdenum concentrate, ammonium heptamolvbdate and molybdenum oxide declined slightly early in this week while molybdenum powder price maintained stability.
Chinese Molybdenum Prices - Dec. 21, 2018
Chinese molybdenum prices remained weak adjustment in the week to Friday December 21, affected by capital shortage, quiet trading in the off season and poor performance in steel tenders.
Molybdenum Market Prices - Dec. 20, 2018
In the Chinese market, ferromolybdenum and molybdenum concentrate prices declined slightly while molybdenum powder prices kept stable on Thursday December 20. Market confidence now is weak due to low operating rate, thin demand and capital shortage, although the supply and cost sides still offer support for the market.
China Molybdenum Market - Dec. 19, 2018
China molybdenum market is still in a stalemate as a result of sluggish stainless steel industry. As steel mills are not active in purchasing raw materials, prices of steel biddings are under pressure and market confidence is weakened. Some of them even consider profit-taking for more sales to ease pressure of funds while others transfer their stress to the cost side.
Molybdenum Powder Price - Dec. 18, 2018
The latest prices of molybdenum concentrate and molybdenum oxide drop slightly while molybdenum powder price maintains stability in Chinese market. On the one hand, market confidence is weakened by poor performance in downstream steel market; on the other hand, as production costs of raw materials keep firm, manufacturers’ profits decrease sharply.
