Realization of ferromagnetic (FM) interlayer coupling in magnetic topological insulators (TIs) of the MnBi2Te4 family of materials (MBTs) may pave the way for realizing the high-temperature quantum anomalous Hall effect (high-T QAHE). Here we propose a generic dual d-band (DDB) model to elucidate the energy difference (ΔE = EAFM − EFM) between the AFM and FM coupling in transition-metal (TM)-doped MBTs, where the valence of TMs splits into d-t2g and d-eg sub-bands. Remarkably, the DDB shows that ΔE is universally determined by the relative position of the dopant (X) and Mn d-eg/t2g bands, . If ΔEd > 0, then ΔE > 0 and the desired FM coupling is favored. This surprisingly simple rule is confirmed by first-principles calculations of hole-type 3d and 4d TM dopants. Significantly, by applying the DDB model, we predict the high-T QAHE in the V-doped Mn2Bi2Te5, where the Curie temperature is enhanced by doubling of the MnTe layer, while the topological order mitigated by doping can be restored by strain.
