Two-dimensional (2D) materials with spin polarization have great potential for achieving next-generation spintronic applications. However, spin polarization of 2D materials is usually produced at a cryogenic temperature because of thermal fluctuations, which severely hinder their further applications. Here, we report room-temperature intrinsic magnetic-induced circularly polarized photoluminescence (PL) in 2D Er2O2S flakes. The g eff factor of 2D Er2O2S stays at around -6.3 from the liquid He temperature limit to room temperature, which is independent of temperature. This anomalous phenomenon in Er2O2S is totally different from previous materials, which all have a decreasing Zeeman splitting with increasing temperature resulting from thermal fluctuations. The anomalous temperature-dependent magnetic-induced circularly polarized PL originates from the weak electron-phonon coupling in 2D Er2O2S, which has been proven by both the temperature-dependent Raman and theoretical calculations. This work sheds light on the understanding and manipulation of 2D materials for practical spintronic applications.
