Transition-metal dichalcogenides with marcasite structure have been extensively studied for their applications in light energy conversion and photoelectrochemical devices. Lately this structure type has also gained interest for its magnetic properties as a candidate for the newly-predicted altermagnetic order.
We report on the formation of (Fe,X)Se2, (X= Co, Mn, Cr....) thin films by ex-situ selenization of amorphous transition metal thin films. Using combinatorial deposition allowed to efficiently explore a wide range of substitution at the iron site with different transition metals (for example Co, Mn, Cr). The dependence of structural properties and phase stability on the selenization temperature and substitution level has been investigated. The process may be adapted for other transition metal dichalcogenides thin films, such as FeSb2, and is therefore a unique tool to study a broad material family and its possible substitution ranges.
