Microscopic Insights to the Ultralow Thermal Conductivity of Monolayer 1T-SnTe2
Kemal Aziz, John E. Ekpe, Augustine O. Okekeoma +8
Two-dimensional (2D) metallic systems with intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity are rare, yet they are of great interest for next-generation energy and electronic technol…
Tunable topological phase in 2D ScVSn kagome material
Chidiebere I. Nwaogbo, Sanjib K. Das, Chinedu E. Ekuma
We investigate the topological properties of the vanadium-based 2D kagome metal ScVSn, a ferromagnetic material with a magnetic moment of 0.86 per atom. Using ab ini…
Rashba Spin-Orbit Coupling and Nonlocal Correlations in Disordered 2D Systems
Yongtai Li, Gour Jana, Chinedu E. Ekuma
We present an extension of the dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) that incorporates Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) to investigate the interplay between disorder, spin-orbit in…
Intrinsic Chern Half-Metal with High Anomalous Hall Conductivity in 2D BaNiCl
Chidiebere I. Nwaogbo, Chinedu E. Ekuma
Two-dimensional (2D) half-metals offer complete spin polarization at the Fermi level, making them candidates for dissipationless spin transport. Yet intrinsic 2D half-metals exhibi…
A High-Throughput and Data-Driven Computational Framework for Novel Quantum Materials
Srihari M. Kastuar, Christopher Rzepa, Srinivas Rangarajan +1
Two-dimensional layered materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), possess intrinsic van der Waals gap at the layer interface allowing for remarkable tunability of…
