Abstract

Recently, the orbital coupling in 2D materials has been demonstrated to have a significant impact on the magnetic anisotropy (MA) of CrTe2. The Te atomic layers on the surface layers determine the magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) of the system due to orbital coupling. Herein, is proposed to investigate the surface and middle layers of Te atoms on MA. The MCA of consists of in‐plane and out‐of‐plane components, which are contributed by the surface layer and middle layer, respectively. Due to the lack of Cr–Te–Cr chemical bonds in the z‐axis, the surface layer produces coupling and results in the in‐plane MA. In addition, a tensile strain can enhance the coupling on the middle layer and lead to the out‐of‐plane MCA. At the same time, the out‐of‐plane MCA breaks the vertical mirror symmetry and an anomalous Hall effect has been detected on monolayer (1L) . Based on this result, an anomalous Hall device is designed to record and read information. The opposing contribution of the surface and middle layers provides a completely new way to understand 2D materials.

Cr2Te3 的磁各向异性：表层和中层之间的竞争

最近的研究证明，二维材料中的轨道耦合对 CrTe2 的磁各向异性（MA）有重大影响。由于轨道耦合，表层的 Te 原子层决定了体系的磁晶各向异性（MCA）。本文拟研究 MA 上 Te 原子的表层和中间层。磁晶各向异性包括面内和面外成分，分别由表层和中间层贡献。由于在 Z 轴上缺乏 Cr-Te-Cr 化学键，表层产生耦合并导致面内 MA。此外，拉伸应变会增强中间层的耦合，导致面外 MCA。同时，面外 MCA 打破了垂直镜面对称性，并在单层 (1L) 上检测到了异常霍尔效应。基于这一结果，我们设计了一种反常霍尔器件来记录和读取信息。表层和中间层的对立贡献为理解二维材料提供了一种全新的方法。
