MnBi2Te4-family intrinsic magnetic topological materials

Abstract MnBi2Te4 and its derivative compounds have received focused research interests recently for their inherent magnetic order and the rich, robust and tunable topological phases hosted in them. Here, I briefly introduce MnBi2Te4-family intrinsic magnetic topological materials—the electronic and...

description Abstract MnBi2Te4 and its derivative compounds have received focused research interests recently for their inherent magnetic order and the rich, robust and tunable topological phases hosted in them. Here, I briefly introduce MnBi2Te4-family intrinsic magnetic topological materials—the electronic and magnetic properties, the topological phase diagrams and the research progress made on them in the past years. I try to present a simple picture to understand their rich electronic, magnetic and topological properties, and a concise guide to engineer them for intended topological phases and the quantum anomalous Hall effect at higher temperature.
