Recently, Prof. Zheng Xiaohong’s research group from
the Institute of Solid State Physics (ISSP) of the Hefei Institutes
of Physical Science (HFIPS), in cooperation with Prof. Stefano
Sanvito from Trinity College Dublin, demonstrated a novel idea to
achieve half-metallicity in A-type van der Waals (vdW)
antiferromagnets via ferroelectric control.
