Intrinsic ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic axion insulators in van der Waals materials MnX_{2}B_{2}T_{6} family

The MnBi_{2}Te_{4} family has attracted significant attention due to its rich topological states such as the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulator state, the axion insulator state, and the magnetic Weyl semimetal state. Nevertheless, the intrinsic antiferromagnetic (AFM) interlayer coupling in MnBi...
