Valley-polarized quantum anomalous Hall effect in van der Waals heterostructures based on monolayer jacutingaite family materials
Abstract
We numerically study the general valley polarization and anomalous Hall effect in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures based on monolayer jacutingaite family materials Pt2AX3 (A = Hg, Cd, Zn; X = S, Se, Te). We perform a systematic study on the atomic, electronic, and topological properties of vdW heterostructures composed of monolayer Pt2AX3 and two-dimensional ferromagnetic insulators. We show that four kinds of vdW heterostructures exhibit valley-polarized quantum anomalous Hall phase, i.e., Pt2HgS3/NiBr2, Pt2HgSe3/CoBr2, Pt2HgSe3/NiBr2, and Pt2ZnS3/CoBr2, with a maximum valley splitting of 134.2 meV in Pt2HgSe3/NiBr2 and sizable global band gap of 58.8 meV in Pt2HgS3/NiBr2. Our findings demonstrate an ideal platform to implement applications on topological valleytronics.
