We present a comparative first principles investigation of the electronic properties of 2D systems consisting of a MoSe₂ monolayer with a transition metal overlayer : Fe, Co, Ni and V. Our calculations show that Fe-MoSe₂ and Co-MoSe₂ are half-metallic ferromagnets with bandgaps of 0.94 eV and 0.74 eV, respectively, for one of the spin channels. Moreover, Ni-MoSe₂ converges into a semi-conductor with an indirect bandgap of 0.68 eV. Interestingly, V-MoSe₂ turns out to be an anti-ferromagnetic material with a gapless dirac-cone located 0.20 eV below the Fermi level. The combined effect of time-reversal symmetry breaking and the effect of spin-orbit coupling induced by Mo, lead to non-degenerate K and K^′ valleys, which renders these heterostructures good candidates for diverse spintronic applications.
