Description
Summary:This research aims to tune the external electric field to examine the availability of magnetic phase transition in a single-layer NiCl 2 . The first-principle calculations were implemented via the generalized Bloch theorem to obtain and compare the total energies of ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and spiral states. The different magnetic ground states for different lattice constants without applying the electric field were found, so the magnetic phase transitions exist. When the electric field was included, no magnetic phase transition appeared for all the lattice constants. Conversely, the high spin states are robust for all the lattice constants under the electric field was observed. The suggestion is that only the lattice parameter governs the magnetic ground state in a single-layer NiCl 2 .
