Based on first-principles calculations, we have predicted a novel group of 2D p-state Dirac half-metal (DHM) materials, YX (Y = Li, Na; X = Se, Te) monolayers. All the monolayers exhibit intrinsic ferromagnetism. Among them, LiTe and NaSe open topologically nontrivial band gaps of 4.

Article Synopsis
  • Two-dimensional semiconducting materials with unique physical properties are gaining attention for their use in polarizing devices.
  • Researchers have designed a new family of monolayers (penta-PtXY) that exhibit indirect bandgaps between 2.29-2.66 eV, indicating their potential for electronic applications.
  • These monolayers also show significant mechanical and optical anisotropy, making them promising candidates for multifunctional polarized nanodevices.
