The versatility of the 2D materials lies in the fact that the each material has unique electronic properties which can be tuned further using a variety of ways as per the desired application. In our recent work, we have considered phosphorene, which offers unique set of characteristics such as a semiconducting nature, good carrier mobility and low-spin orbit coupling aspects which makes it a highly prospective two dimensional material for cross-hybrid architectures in nanoelectronics, spintronics, and optoelectronics. Through systematic doping of various 3d block elements, we have observed high temperature magnetic ordering in the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases. We have demonstrated electronic and magnetic phase tunability in non-magnetic phosphorene, through systematic doping of various 3d block elements. In addition to the zoo of magnetic/electronic phases, conduction map offers large degree of spin polarisation and spin-injection which are of interest in spintronics.
