Magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy and Gilbert damping of two-dimensional half-metallic RhX2 (X = I, Br, Cl) ferromagnets: Density functional theory study

This work studies the monolayer rhodium dihalides family, RhX2 (where X = I, Br, Cl), using density functional theory. We first calculate the spin-polarized electronic band structure, revealing a wide intrinsic half-metallic gap (>1.1 eV) in the down spin bands of RhX2 monolayers. We then calcula...
