Constraints on proximity-induced ferromagnetism in a Dirac semimetal (CdAs)/ferromagnetic semiconductor (GaMnSb) heterostructure

Arpita Mitra, Run Xiao, Wilson Yanez +8

Breaking time-reversal symmetry in a Dirac semimetal CdAs through doping with magnetic ions or by the magnetic proximity effect is expected to cause a transition to other t…
