论文摘要

二维(2D)铁磁体一直是一个引人入胜的研究主题,而磁各向异性(MA)对于稳定2D磁性阶是必不可少的。在这里,我们通过使用通用梯度近似以及$ u $(gga+$ u $)方法研究了磁各向异性能量(MAE),$ \ mathrm {vsi_2p_4} $的磁性和电子特性。对于大型$ U $,磁性各向异性(MSA)能量对MAE具有更明显的贡献,可以克服磁晶方差(MCA)能量,以证明易于平面。对于固定的平面内MA,单层$ \ MATHRM {VSI_2P_4} $经历Ferrovalley(FV),Half-Valley-Metal(HVM),Valley-Polarized量子异常Hall hall hall hall hall hall hall Inmalous Insulator(vqahi),HVM和FV状态增加,$ u $ $ U $ $ $。但是,对于假设内部的MA,没有特殊的量子异常大厅(QAH)状态和自发山谷范围内的自发山谷极化。根据MAE和电子结构,带有固定的平面外或平面内MA,固有相图显示了单层中的常见磁性半导体(CMS),FV和VQAHI $ \ MATHRM {VSI_2P_4} $。在参考文献中广泛使用的代表性$ u $$ = $ 3,$ \ mathrm {vsi_2p_4} $可以被视为2D- $ xy $磁铁,而不是像以前的作品中预测的类似于2D的长距离订单磁铁,仅考虑MCA能量。我们的发现阐明了MSA在确定单层$ \ mathrm {vsi_2p_4} $的磁性和电子特性中的重要性。

Two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnets have been a fascinating subject of research, and magnetic anisotropy (MA) is indispensable for stabilizing the 2D magnetic order. Here, we investigate magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE), magnetic and electronic properties of $\mathrm{VSi_2P_4}$ by using the generalized gradient approximation plus $U$ (GGA+$U$) approach. For large $U$, the magnetic shape anisotropy (MSA) energy has a more pronounced contribution to the MAE, which can overcome the magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) energy to evince an easy-plane. For fixed out-of-plane MA, monolayer $\mathrm{VSi_2P_4}$ undergoes ferrovalley (FV), half-valley-metal (HVM), valley-polarized quantum anomalous Hall insulator (VQAHI), HVM and FV states with increasing $U$. However, for assumptive in-plane MA, there is no special quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) state and spontaneous valley polarization within considered $U$ range. According to the MAE and electronic structure with fixed out-of-plane or in-plane MA, the intrinsic phase diagram shows common magnetic semiconductor (CMS), FV and VQAHI in monolayer $\mathrm{VSi_2P_4}$. At representative $U$$=$3 eV widely used in references, $\mathrm{VSi_2P_4}$ can be regarded as a 2D-$XY$ magnet, not Ising-like 2D long-range order magnets predicted in previous works with only considering MCA energy. Our findings shed light on importance of MSA in determining magnetic and electronic properties of monolayer $\mathrm{VSi_2P_4}$.
