Room temperature two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetism is highly desired in practical spintronics applications. Recently, 1T phase CrTe2 (1T-CrTe2) nanosheets with five and thicker layers have been successfully synthesized, which all exhibit…

Recently, there has been a rapidly growing interest in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal chalcogenide monolayers (MLs) due to their unique magnetic and electronic properties. By using an evolutionary algorithm and first-principles…

The effect of strain on the magnetic order and band structure of single-layer CrAsS$_4$ has been investigated by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. We found that single-layer CrAsS$_4$ was an antiferromagnetic…

Antiferromagnetic (AFM) and ferromagnetic (FM) skyrmions possess unique advantages for spintronic applications. AFM skyrmions eliminate the skyrmion Hall effect and exhibit fast dynamics, whereas FM skyrmions are easier to nucleate and…

The influence of hydrostatic pressure and ab-plane strain on the magnetic structure of FeTe is investigated from first principles. The results of calculations reveal a phase transition from antiferromagnetic double-stripe ordering at…

A monolayer of CrI$_3$ is a two-dimensional crystal that in its equilibrium configuration is a ferromagnetic semiconductor, however, two coupled layers can be ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic depending on the stacking. We study the…

First-principles calculations are used to probe the effects of mechanical strain on the magnetic and optical properties of monolayer (ML) 2H-TaSe$_2$. A complex dependence of these physical properties on strain results in unexpected…

Topological aspects in altermagnets have come into focus recently, and tuning the antiferromagnetic (AFM) state into an altermagnetic phase remains an active frontier. We realize both within a rutile superlattice here in this paper. With…

Two-dimensional chromium ditelluride (CrTe2) is a promising ferromagnetic layered material that exhibits long-range ferromagnetic ordering in the monolayer limit. The formation energies of the different possible structural phases (1T, 1H,…

Recent advances in two-dimensional materials have greatly expanded the family of ferromagnetic materials. The well-known 2D ferromagnets, such as CrI$_3$, Cr$_2$Ge$_2$Te$_6$, and Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$ monolayers, are characterized by…

We investigate magnetic properties of CrTe$_2$ within the density functional theory (DFT) approach in ferromagnetic phase and combination of DFT and dynamical mean field theory (DFT+DMFT) approach in paramagnetic phase. We show that few…

The primary mechanism of operation of almost all transistors today relies on electric-field effect in a semiconducting channel to tune its conductivity from the conducting 'on'-state to a non-conducting 'off'-state. As transistors continue…

We have carried out density-functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the magnetic stability of both ferromagnetic (FM) and anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) states in monolayer 1T-CrTe2. Our results show that the AFM order is lower in energy…

A-type antiferromagnetism, with an in-plane ferromagnetic order and the interlayer antiferromagnetic coupling, owns inborn advantages for electrical manipulations but is naturally rare in real materials except in those artificial…

Recent observation of intrinsic ferromagnetism in two-dimensional (2D) CrI$_3$ is associated with the large magnetic anisotropy due to strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of I. Magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) defines the stability of…

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides have attracted great attention recently. Motivated by a recent study of crystalline bulk VTe$_2$, we theoretically investigated the spin-charge-lattice interplay in monolayer VTe$_2$. To…

Lateral heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) materials, integrating different phases or materials into a single piece of nanosheet, have attracted intensive research interests in the past few years for high-performance electronic and…

Interfacial exchange coupling between antiferromagnets (AFMs) and ferromagnets (FMs) crucially makes it possible to shift the FM hysteresis, known as exchange bias, and to switch AFM states. Two-dimensional magnets unlock opportunities to…

Historically, finding two-dimensional (2D) magnets is well known to be a difficult task due to instability against thermal spin fluctuations. Metals are also normally considered poor thermoelectric (TE) materials. Combining intrinsic…
