The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) demonstrates the potential for achieving quantized Hall resistance without the need for an external magnetic field, making it highly promising for reducing energy loss in electronic devices. Its realization and research rely heavily on precise first-principles calculations, which are essential for analyzing the electronic structures and topological properties of novel two-dimensional (2D) materials. This review article explores the theoretical progress of QAHE in 2D hexagonal monolayers with strong spin-orbit coupling and internal magnetic ordering.

Exploring valleytronics in two-dimensional materials is of great significance for the development of advanced information devices. In this study, we investigate the valley polarization and electronic properties of V-doped 2H-phase Janus MoSeTe by using first-principles calculations. Our results reveal a remarkable valley spin splitting up to 60 meV, driven by the breaking of time-reversal symmetry due to the magnetic effect of V 3d orbitals.

Metal nanocrystals synthesized in achiral environments usually exhibit no chiroptical effects. However, by placing nominally achiral nanocrystals 1.3 nm above gold films, we find giant chiroptical effects, reaching anisotropy factors as high as ≈ 0.

Superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates has stirred much research interest, to which questions regarding the nature of superconductivity remain elusive. A critical leap forward to address these intricate questions is through the growth of high-crystallinity infinite-layer nickelates, including the "parent" phase. Here, we report the synthesis of a high-quality thin-film nickelate, NdNiO.

Nowadays, polycrystalline lead telluride is one of the premier substances for thermoelectric devices while remaining a hopeful competitor to current semiconductor materials used in mid-infrared photonic applications. Notwithstanding that, the development of reliable and reproducible routes for the synthesis of PbTe thin films has not yet been accomplished. As an effort toward this aim, the present article reports progress in the growth of polycrystalline indium-doped PbTe films and their study.
