Drastic change of magnetic anisotropy in Fe3GeTe2 and Fe4GeTe2 monolayers under electric field studied by density functional theory

Abstract Magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) is one of the most important properties in two-dimensional magnetism since the magnetization in two dimension is vulnerable to the spin rotational fluctuations. Using density functional theory calculation, we show that perpendicular electric field dramatical...
