Impact of Electric Field on the Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy of CrMnS₂I₂ Monolayer- A DFT Perspective

In this study, we have highlighted the electro-magnetic properties of the CrMnS
2
I
2
monolayer using the method of density functional theory. The external electric field of 0.5 eV/Å is applied in the z-direction and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (MAE) is maintained for the CrMnS
2
I
2
monolayer with this approach as well. The MAE and exchange coupling constants (J
1
, J
2
, J
3
) shows considerable changes. Thus, the enhanced magnetic properties suggest CrMnS
2
I
2
monolayer as a promising candidate for the spintronic applications.
