We propose realizing the quantum anomalous Hall effect by proximity coupling graphene to an antiferromagnetic insulator that provides both broken time-reversal symmetry and spin-orbit coupling. illustrate our idea performing ab initio calculations for adsorbed on (111) surface of BiFeO3.

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) monolayers have been considered as important two-dimensional semiconductor materials for the study of fundamental physics in field spintronics. However, out-of-plane mirror symmetry TMDs may constrain electrons' degrees freedom and it limit spin-related applications. Recently, a newly synthesized Janus MoSSe was found to intrinsically possess both in-plane inversion mirror-symmetry breaking. Here we performed first-principles calculations order...

Based on the first-principles prediction, we report magnetoelectric coupling effect in two-dimensional multiferroic bilayer ${\mathrm{VS}}_{2}$. The ground-state $3R$-type stacking breaks space inversion symmetry, therefore introducing a spontaneous polarization perpendicular to layer plane. We further reveal that out-of-plane ferroelectric of ${\mathrm{VS}}_{2}$ can be reversed upon interlayer sliding an in-plane translation. Each has ferromagnetic state with opposite magnetic moment...
Catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at low temperatures is still an urgent issue to be solved.

It demonstrated that Cu doping created composite were more exposed after removing surface Sm species acid-etching. Benefiting from this,...

Abstract Crystalline carbon nitride (CCN)‐based semiconductors have recently attracted widespread attention in solar energy conversion. However, further modifying the photocatalytic ability of CCN always results a trade‐off between high crystallinity and good performance. Herein, facile defect engineering strategy was demonstrated to modify photocatalysts. Results confirmed that obtained D ‐CCN maintained crystallinity; additionally, hydrogen production rate approximately 8 times higher than...
Abstract Perovskite oxides form a fascinating class of materials because they possess many active degrees freedom that result in large variety physical effects.

A canted antiferromagnetic transition with thermal hysteresis at T = 260 K is observed, a compensation (zero magnetization) near 133 attributed to antiparallel coupling between Ce3+ Cr3+ moments. At low temperature, field induced magnetization reversal starting from 43 for H 1.2 kOe reveals spin flip driven by Zeeman energy net moments applied field. These findings may find potential uses in...
