Valleytronics rooted in the valley degree of freedom is of both theoretical and technological importance as it offers additional opportunities for information storage and electronic, magnetic and optical switches. In analogy to ferroelectric materials with spontaneous charge polarization in electronics, as well as ferromagnetic materials with spontaneous spin polarization in spintronics, here we introduce a new member of ferroic-family, i.e. a ferrovalley material with spontaneous valley polarization. Combining a two-band kp model with first-principles calculations, we show that 2H-VSe2 monolayer, where the spin-orbit coupling coexists with the intrinsic exchange interaction of transition-metal-d electrons, is such a room-temperature ferrovalley material. We further predict that such system could demonstrate many distinctive properties, for example, chirality-dependent optical band gap and more interestingly, anomalous valley Hall effect. On account of the latter, a series of functional devices based on ferrovalley materials, such as valley-based nonvolatile random access memory, valley filter, are contemplated for valleytronic applications.

Collective motions of electrons in solids are often conveniently described as the movements of quasiparticles. Here we show that these quasiparticles can be hierarchical. Examples are valley electrons, which move in hyperorbits within a honeycomb lat
tice and forms a valley pseudospin, or the self-rotation of the wave-packet. We demonstrate that twist can induce higher level motions of valley electrons around the moire superlattice of bilayer systems. Such larger scale collective movement of the valley electron, can be regarded as the self-rotation (spin) of a higher-level quasiparticle, or what we call super-valley electron. This quasiparticle, in principle, may have mesoscopic size as the moire supercell can be very large. It could result in fascinating properties like topological and chiral transport, superfluid, etc., even though these properties are absent in the pristine untwisted system. Using twisted antiferromagnetically coupled bilayer with honeycomb lattice as example, we find that there forms a Haldane-like superlattice with periodically staggered magnetic flux and the system could demonstrate quantum super-valley Hall effect. Further analyses reveal that the super-valley electron possesses opposite chirality when projected onto the top and bottom layer, and can be described as two components (magnetic monopoles) of Dirac fermion entangled in real-space, or a giant electron. Our theory opens a new way to understand the collective motions of electrons in solid.
Anomalous valley Hall (AVH) effect is a fundamental transport phenomenon in the field of condensed-matter physics. Usually, the research on AVH effect is mainly focused on 2D lattices with ferromagnetic order. Here, by means of model analysis, we pre
sent a general design principle for realizing AVH effect in antiferromagnetic monolayers, which involves the introduction of nonequilibrium potentials to break of PT symmetry. Using first-principles calculations, we further demonstrate this design principle by stacking antiferromagnetic monolayer MnPSe3 on ferroelectric monolayer Sc2CO2 and achieve the AVH effect. The AVH effect can be well controlled by modulating the stacking pattern. In addition, by reversing the ferroelectric polarization of Sc2CO2 via electric field, the AVH effect in monolayer MnPSe3 can be readily switched on or off. The underlying physics are revealed in detail. Our findings open up a new direction of research on exploring AVH effect.
Valley, as a new degree of freedom for electrons, has drawn considerable attention due to its significant potential for encoding and storing information. Lifting the energy degeneracy to achieve valley polarization is necessary for realizing valleytr
onic devices. Here, on the basis of first-principles calculations, we show that single-layer FeCl2 exhibits a large spontaneous valley polarization (~101 meV) arising from the broken time-reversal symmetry and spin-orbital coupling, which can be continuously tuned by varying the direction of magnetic crystalline. By employing the perturbation theory, the underlying physical mechanism is unveiled. Moreover, the coupling between valley degree of freedom and ferromagnetic order could generate a spin- and valley-polarized anomalous Hall current in the presence of the in-plane electric field, facilitating its experimental exploration and practical applications.
We measure the ordinary and the anomalous Hall effect in a set of yttrium iron garnet$|$platinum (YIG$|$Pt) bilayers via magnetization orientation dependent magnetoresistance experiments. Our data show that the presence of the ferrimagnetic insulator
YIG leads to an anomalous Hall like signature in Pt, sensitive to both Pt thickness and temperature. Interpretation of the experimental findings in terms of the spin Hall anomalous Hall effect indicates that the imaginary part of the spin mixing interface conductance $G_{mathrm{i}}$ plays a crucial role in YIG$|$Pt bilayers. In particular, our data suggest a sign change in $G_{mathrm{i}}$ between $10,mathrm{K}$ and $300,mathrm{K}$. Additionally, we report a higher order Hall effect, which appears in thin Pt films on YIG at low temperatures.
Exploration of the novel relationship between magnetic order and topological semimetals has received enormous interest in a wide range of both fundamental and applied research. Here we predict that soft ferromagnetic (FM) material EuB6 can achieve mu
ltiple topological semimetal phases by simply tuning the direction of the magnetic moment. Explicitly, EuB6 is a topological nodal-line semimetal when the moment is aligned along the [001] direction, and it evolves into a Weyl semimetal with three pairs of Weyl nodes by rotating the moment to the [111] direction. Interestingly, we identify a novel semimetal phase featuring the coexistence of a nodal line and Weyl nodes with the moment in the [110] direction. Topological surface states and anomalous Hall conductivity, which is sensitive to the magnetic order, have been computed and are expected to be experimentally observable. Large-Chern-number quantum anomalous Hall effect can be realized in its [111]-oriented quantum-well structure.
