Article Abstract
This article reviews the rich magneto-electronic properties of multilayer graphene systems. Multilayer graphenes are built from graphene sheets attracting one another by van der Waals forces; the magneto-electronic properties are diversified by the number of layers and the stacking configurations. For an N-layer system, Landau levels are divided into N groups, with each identified by a dominant sublattice associated with the stacking configuration. We focus on the main characteristics of Landau levels, including the degeneracy, wave functions, quantum numbers, onset energies, field-dependent energy spectra, semiconductor-metal transitions, and crossing patterns, which are reflected in the magneto-optical spectroscopy, scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and quantum transport experiments. The Landau levels in AA-stacked graphene are responsible for multiple Dirac cones, while in AB-stacked graphene the Dirac properties depend on the number of graphene layers, and in ABC-stacked graphene the low-lying levels are related to surface states. The Landau-level mixing leads to anticrossings patterns in energy spectra, which are seen for intergroup Landau levels in AB-stacked graphene, while in particular, a formation of both intergroup and intragroup anticrossings is observed in ABC-stacked graphene. The aforementioned magneto-electronic properties lead to diverse optical spectra, plasma spectra, and transport properties when the stacking order and the number of layers are varied. The calculations are in agreement with optical and transport experiments, and novel features that have not yet been verified experimentally are presented.

This study thoroughly examines the structural, mechanical, thermal, electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of RhMnZ (Z = Si, Ge) half-Heusler compounds, which feature 18 valence electrons. Using density functional theory (DFT) within the WIEN2k computational framework, the ground-state properties of these compounds were determined to establish a foundational understanding of their physical characteristics. To further assess their thermoelectric potential, the Boltzmann transport equation was applied with the constant relaxation time approximation, allowing for precise calculations of thermal and electrical conductivity.

Magnetic tunneling junctions (MTJs) lie in the core of magnetic random access memory, holding promise in integrating memory and computing to reduce hardware complexity, transition latency, and power consumption. However, traditional MTJs are insensitive to light, limiting their functionality in in-memory sensing─a crucial component for machine vision systems in artificial intelligence applications. Herein, the convergence of magnetic memory with optical sensing capabilities is achieved in the all-two-dimensional (2D) magnetic junction FeGaTe/WSe/FeGaTe, which combines 2D magnetism and optoelectronic properties.

This study delves into the magneto-electronic and magneto-optical properties of stacking-modulated bilayer graphene. By manipulating domain walls (DWs) across AB-BA domains periodically, we unveil oscillatory Landau subbands and the associated optical excitations. The DWs act as periodic potentials, yielding fascinating 1D spectral features.
