Two-Dimensional Kagome Magnetic Material Fe3As with Large Magnetic Anisotropy and High Curie Temperature

Abstract

Abstract: Recently, the exploration of two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic materials has become a hot topic in the field of spintronic devices. In this work, Fe₃As, a new two-dimensional material, with Curie temperature (T_c) of 300 K (reach room temperature), was designed by means of spin-polarized density generalization theory calculations. The predicted 2D Fe₃As has strong in-plane Fe—Fe coupling with large magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of approximately 366.7 μeV, which contributes to maintain a long-range ferromagnetic order. The energy band of Fe₃As has both flat band and Dirac point features. The position of the flat band is positively related to the strength of the magnetic coupling. Furthermore, T_c increases progressively as the distance between the flat band and the Fermi surface continues to decrease under the effect of the biaxial strain. Therefore, Fe₃As monolayer is considered to be a promising candidate for 2D room-temperature spintronics devices.

Key words: Fe₃As, spintronics, two-dimensional material, magnetic property, Kagome structure, first-principle calculation
