摘要:

结构-性能关系一直是发现新材料的指导原则。在这里,我们探索的关系,发现新的二维(2D)材料的目标是确定2D磁性半导体自旋电子学应用。特别是,我们报告的密度泛函理论+ $U$研究单层反铁磁(AFM)半导体CoS $_2$的五边形结构形成所谓的开罗镶嵌。我们发现,这种单层磁铁表现出间接带隙为1.06 eV的轻电子和空穴的有效质量分别为0.03和0.10 $m_0$,这可能会导致高载流子迁移率。混合密度泛函理论计算校正的带隙为2.24 eV。我们还计算了磁晶各向异性能(MAE),表明AFM排序的易轴是出平面的一个相当大的MAE为153 $μ$ eV每Co离子。我们进一步计算在不同的自旋螺旋矢量的磁振子频率,在此基础上,我们估计N $\acute{e}$ el温度为20.4和13.3 K,分别使用平均场和随机相位近似。然后,我们施加双轴应变来调整单层五边形CoS $_2$的带隙。我们发现,铁磁和AFM结构之间的能量差强烈依赖于双轴应变,但基态仍然是AFM有序。虽然低的临界温度限制了单层五角CoS $_2$在室温下的磁性应用,但其优异的电学性能使其有望在光电纳米器件中得到应用。

英文摘要:

Structure-property relationships have always been guiding principles in discovering new materials. Here we explore the relationships to discover novel two-dimensional (2D) materials with the goal of identifying 2D magnetic semiconductors for spintronics applications. In particular, we report a density functional theory + $U$ study of single-layer antiferromagnetic (AFM) semiconductor CoS$_2$ with the pentagonal structure forming the so-called Cairo Tessellation. We find that this single-layer magnet exhibits an indirect bandgap of 1.06 eV with light electron and hole effective masses of 0.03 and 0.10 $m_0$, respectively, which may lead to high carrier mobilities. The hybrid density functional theory calculations correct the bandgap to 2.24 eV. We also compute the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE), showing that the easy axis of the AFM ordering is out of plane with a sizable MAE of 153 $μ$eV per Co ion. We further calculate the magnon frequencies at different spin-spiral vectors, based on which we estimate the N$\acute{e}$el temperatures to be 20.4 and 13.3 K using the mean field and random phase approximations, respectively. We then apply biaxial strains to tune the bandgap of single-layer pentagonal CoS$_2$. We find that the energy difference between the ferromagnetic and AFM structures strongly depends on the biaxial strain, but the ground state remains the AFM ordering. Although the low critical temperature prohibits the magnetic applications of single-layer pentagonal CoS$_2$ at room temperature, the excellent electrical properties may find this novel single-layer semiconductor applications in optoelectronic nanodevices.
