Probing impact on magnetic behavior of cobalt layer grown on thick MoS _2 layer

Understanding the metal-semiconductor heterostructure interface is crucial for the development of spintronic devices. One of the prospective candidates and extensively studied semiconductors is molybdenum disulfide (MoS _2 ). Herein, utilizing Kerr microscopy, we investigated the impact of thick MoS _2 on the magnetic properties of the 10 nm Co layer. A comparative study on Co/MoS_2 and Co/Si shows that coercivity increased by 77
