摘要：The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) promises potential application in low power consumption, high-speed spintronic devices, and future topological quantum computation. In contrast, half-quantum anomalous Hall effect (Half-QAHE) severs as the direct evidence of an axion insulator which presents topological magnetoelectric effect (TME). For both, the main obstacles currently are the lack of suitable materials. In this talk, I will report our recent research on the design of QAHE and Half-QAHE based on intrinsic magnetic topological materials Mn-Bi-Te family. We established a phase diagram based on magnetic topological materials MnBi4Te7 and MnBi6Te10, providing design principles to trigger the QAHE by tuning experimentally accessible knobs, such as the slab thickness and magnetization. We also find that stoichiometric MnBi8Te13 could enable the measurement of Half-QAHE, which serves as the direct proof of the general concept of axion insulators and promotes the realization of topological magnetoelectric effect (TME).[1] Phys.
