Electrically Tunable Topological State in [111] Perovskite Materials with Antiferromagnetic Exchange Field

Abstract

A topological state with simultaneous nonzero Chern number and spin Chern number is possible for electrons on honeycomb lattice based on band engineering by staggered electric potential and antiferromagnetic exchange field in presence of intrinsic spin-orbit coupling. With first principles calculation we confirm that the scheme can be realized by material modification in perovskite G-type antiferromagnetic insulators grown along [111] direction, where d electrons hop on a single buckled honeycomb lattice. This material is ideal for spintronics applications, since it provides a spin-polarized quantized edge current, robust to both nonmagnetic and magnetic defects, with the spin polarization tunable by inverting electric field.
