Abstract
Excellent magnetic properties at room temperature are crucial for the application of ferromagnets in spintronic and topological quantum devices. Using first-principles calculations and atomistic spin model simulations, we investigate the temperature-dependent magnetic properties of the Janus monolayer Fe2XY (X, Y = I, Br, Cl; X ≠ Y), as well as the effects of different magnetic interactions within the next-nearest-neighbor shell on the Curie temperature (TC). A large isotropic exchange interaction between one Fe atom and its next-nearest-neighbor counterparts can significantly increase the TC, while an antisymmetric exchange interaction decreases it. More importantly, we employ the temperature rescaling method, which can obtain temperature-dependent magnetic properties quantitatively consistent with experimental values, and find that the effective uniaxial anisotropy constant and coercive field decrease with increasing temperature. Moreover, at room temperature, Fe2IY is a rectangular-loop magnetic material with a giant coercive field up to ∼8 T, demonstrating its potential for application in room-temperature memory devices. Our findings can advance the application of these Janus monolayers in room-temperature spintronic devices and through heat-assisted techniques.
