GdN thin film: Chern insulating state on square lattice

Using first-principles calculations, we predict a Chern insulating phase in thin films of the ferromagnetic semimetal GdN. In contrast to previously proposed Chern insulator candidates, which mostly rely on honeycomb lattices, this system affords a great chance to realize the quantum anomalous Hall...
