Effects of p–d orbital mixings on magnetocrystalline anisotropy for D_3d-symmetric ferromagnetic semiconducting monolayers

Abstract

Understanding magnetic anisotropy based on electronic properties is vital for theoretical and applied research on ferromagnetic semiconductors. Here, for several representative D3d-symmetric ferromagnetic semiconducting monolayers, we investigate the effect of...

Distinct ferrovalley characteristics of the Janus RuClX (X = F, Br) monolayer

“…3(a) and (b) shows that the main difference in MAE for the RuClF and RuClBr monolayers is the interaction between the d yz and d z 2 orbitals, which is larger in the RuClF monolayer as compared to that in the RuClBr monolayer. 58–60…”

“…3(a) and (b) shows that the main difference in MAE for the RuClF and RuClBr monolayers is the interaction between the d yz and d z 2 orbitals, which is larger in the RuClF monolayer as compared to that in the RuClBr monolayer. [58][59][60] To explore the mechanism, the orbital-resolved projected density of states (PDOS) of the RuClX monolayer is shown in Fig. S2.…”
