Abstract:
In this work, the FeCl3 monolayer is proposed to host a rare and exotic i-wave symmetry altermagnetism. Using first-principles calculations, we performed a detailed investigation of the structural stability and electronic, magnetic, and spintronic properties of monolayer FeCl3. Our results suggest the system is semiconducting in nature and exhibits i-wave symmetry nonrelativistic spin splitting (NRSS), originating from its hexagonal crystal structure with roto-inversion symmetries and anisotropic crystal field. The momentum-resolved spin-splitting further supports the presence of spin-dependent topological features. Further, the monolayer exhibits sizable conventional spin-Hall and anomalous Hall conductivities, highlighting its promise as a versatile platform for next-generation flexo-spintronic applications.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
