CoX (X = Cl and Br): multiple phases and magnetic properties of the Kagome lattice
The unique magnetic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials have demonstrated huge potential for applications in nanodevices and spintronics. In this work, we propose a new Kagome lattice, Co 3 X 8 (X = Cl and Br), based on density functional theory (DFT) calculation. We find that Co/X in Co 3...

Summary: | The unique magnetic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials have demonstrated huge potential for applications in nanodevices and spintronics. In this work, we propose a new Kagome lattice, Co
3
X
8
(X = Cl and Br), based on density functional theory (DFT) calculation. We find that Co/X in Co
3
X
8
has spontaneous movement in the lattice, resulting in 156- and 12-phases of Co
3
X
8
and diverse magnetic and electronic properties. We show that the magnetic and electronic properties of Co
3
X

can be engineered by strain, and the magnetic properties of Co
3
X
8
are highly related to the spontaneous movement of X. Moreover, the transmission property of 12-Co
3
X
8
shows clear angle-dependent features due to the symmetry breaking as caused by the spontaneous movement of X. Our findings may provide not only a possible Kagome lattice with unique properties, but also a strategy for designing nanodevices and for spintronics.
We found a novel Kagome lattice, Co
3
X
8
, in which the spontaneous movement of Co or X leads to distinct phase and physical properties. The anisotropic transmission properties of 12-Co

X

make it possible to apply this lattice in nanodevices. |
