Abstract
Due to the excellent properties of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials, 2D van der Waals magnetic heterostructures have obtained more research in nanoelectronics. In this work, the electronic and magnetic properties in 2D graphyne/VI3 (γ-GY/VI3) magnetic heterostructures have been elaborately examined on account of first-principles calculations. As shown by the research results, semiconductor or half-metallic characteristic of VI3 monolayer in γ-GY/VI3 heterostructures may be exhibited due to the difference in stacking pattern. Furthermore, the formation of heterostructures significantly enhances the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) of VI3 monolayer. At compressive strains, VI3 monolayer of γ-GY/VI3 heterostructure realizes a shift from semiconductor to metal characteristic, and this significantly enhances the electrical conductivity of VI3 monolayer. Moreover, through shortening the interlayer distance in γ-GY/VI3 heterostructures, the spin-up half-metallic state appears in VI3 monolayer. Both compressive strains and interlayer distance can also enhance the interlayer interaction, charge transfer and PMA of γ-GY/VI3 heterostructure. These tunable electronic properties show that γ-GY/VI3 heterostructures can become potential alternatives applicable to nanoelectronic and spintronic device design.
期刊介绍:
Superlattices and Microstructures has continued as Micro and Nanostructures. Micro and Nanostructures is a journal disseminating the science and technology of micro-structures and nano-structures in materials and their devices, including individual and collective use of semiconductors, metals and insulators for the exploitation of their unique properties. The journal hosts papers dealing with fundamental and applied experimental research as well as theoretical studies. Fields of interest, including emerging ones, cover:
• Novel micro and nanostructures
• Nanomaterials (nanowires, nanodots, 2D materials ) and devices
• Synthetic heterostructures
• Plasmonics
• Micro and nano-defects in materials (semiconductor, metal and insulators)
• Surfaces and interfaces of thin films
In addition to Research Papers, the journal aims at publishing Topical Reviews providing insights into rapidly evolving or more mature fields. Written by leading researchers in their respective fields, those articles are commissioned by the Editorial Board.
