First-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) confirm the half-metallic ferromagnetism in both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], and the nearly half-metallic ferromagnetism in [Formula: see text] Heusler alloys with the [Formula: see text]-type structure [Formula: see text]. The electronic band structures and density of states (DOS) calculations of the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] compounds show that the spin-up electrons are metallic, whereas the spin-down bands are semiconducting with a gap of 0.47 eV and 0.53 eV, respectively, with 0.21 eV and 0.36 eV as a spin-flip gap, respectively. The [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] Heusler were half-metal compounds with magnetic moment of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at the equilibrium lattice constants [Formula: see text] Å and [Formula: see text] Å, respectively, which agrees with the Slater–Pauling rule, and have 100% polarization for a wide range of lattice parameters. The [Formula: see text] is a nearly half-metal (NHF) compound with magnetic moment of [Formula: see text] and 92.9% polarization at the equilibrium lattice constants [Formula: see text] Å and acquire half-metal behavior under the pressure 16.70 GPa.

Half-metallic ferromagnetism (HMFM) has great potential application in spin filter. However, it is extremely rare, especially in two-dimensional (2D) materials. At present, 2D materials have drawn international interest in spintronic devices. Here, we use ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the structural stability and electrical and magnetic properties of the MoS2-based 2D superlattice formed by inserting graphene hexagonal ring in [Formula: see text] MoS2 supercell. Two kinds of structures with hexagonal carbon ring were predicted with structural stability and were shown HMFM. The two structures combine the spin transport capacity of graphene with the magnetism of the defective 2D MoS2. And they have strong covalent bonding between the C and S or Mo atoms near the interface. This work is very useful to help us to design reasonable MoS2-based spin filter.
