Room temperature two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetal CrO with giant spin-splitting and spin-momentum locked transport

Abstract

Giant spin-splitting was recently predicted in collinear antiferromagnetic materials with a specific class of magnetic space group. In this work, we have predicted a two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetal (WS), CrO with large spin-split band structure, spin-momentum locked transport properties and high Néel temperature. It has two pairs of spin-polarized Weyl points at the Fermi level. By manipulating the position of the Weyl points with strain, four different antiferromagnetic spintronic states can be achieved: WSs with two spin-polarized transport channels (STCs), WSs with single STC, semiconductors with two STCs, and semiconductors with single STC. Based on these properties, a new avenue in spintronics with 2D collinear antiferromagnets is proposed.
