Electric Field Induced Multi-Space Topological Phase Transitions in Janus Monolayer MnBi2Se2Te2

Manipulating coexisting multi-space topological states within a single material is a critical frontier for low-power spintronic applications, for which perpendicular electric-field gating offers a highly precise tuning mechanism. Using first-principles calculations and atomistic spin simulations, it is demonstrated that Janus monolayer MnBi2Se2Te2 can exhibit simultaneous momentum-space and real-space topological phase transitions under an external electric field. Specifically, the electric field drives momentum-space transitions across a topologically trivial state (C = 0), a low-Chern-number quantum anomalous Hall state (C = -1), and a high-Chern-number state (C = 2). Concurrently, by actively tuning the competition between the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and magnetic anisotropy, the electric field induces real-space magnetic transitions from a uniform ferromagnetic state to an isolated skyrmion state, and ultimately to a skyrmion-spiral domain coexistence phase. Electric-field-induced variations in both the QAHE and magnetic textures may give rise to multiple topological phase transitions, involving distinct topological regimes: a purely k-space topology, RK-joint skyrmions, and pure real-space skyrmions. These findings establish a powerful material platform and efficient route for the synergistic control of coexisting topological orders, making it highly promising for next generation multi-functional spintronic devices.
