Abstract
We investigate the effects of the circularly polarized light (CPL) and the electric field (EF) on the nonlocal transport in a silicene-based antiferromagnet/superconductor/ferromagnet (AF/S/F) asymmetrical junction. For case I (II), the CPL and the EF are applied simultaneously in the antiferromagnetic (ferromagnetic) region, whereas in the ferromagnetic (antiferromagnetic) region, only a constant EF is considered. The spin-valley-resolved conductance can be turned on or off by adjusting the CPL or the EF. The AF/S/F junction can be manipulated as a spin-locked valley filter for case I, while for case II, it can be used not only as a valley-locked spin filter but also as a nonlocal switch between two pure nonlocal processes. Such interesting nonlocal switch effect can be effectively controlled by reversing the direction of the incident energy axis, the handedness of the CPL, or the direction of the EF. These findings may open an avenue to the design and manufacture of the spintronic and valleytronic devices based on the asymmetrical silicene magnetic superconducting heterostructure.
