Popis: Abstract A weakly temperature-dependent paramagnetic-like susceptibility peak at zero magnetic field is observed in $$\hbox{WSe}_{2-x}\hbox{Te}_{x}$$ WSe 2 - x Te x with only marginal amount of ferromagnetic impurities. The ferromagnetic hysteresis loop and the magnetic moment splitting between zero-field-cooled and field-cooled processes indicate ferromagnetism in the samples. The paramagnetic-like susceptibility peak height is proportional to the remanent magnetic moment of hysteresis loops. High-resolution transmission electron microscope image supports that the observed ferromagnetic feature originates from lattice distortion. These results imply that the weakly temperature-dependent paramagnetic-like susceptibility peak originates from weak lattice distortion and/or superparamagnetism.
