Density functional theory is used to explore the possibility of inducing impurity band ferromagnetism in monolayers of semiconducting MoS2 by introducing holes into the narrow Mo 4d band that forms the top of the valence band. A large out of plane anisotropy is found for unpaired spins bound to the …
