Electrical manipulation of Antiferromagnetic State in Non-centrosymmetric Systems

Antiferromagnetic materials recently appear as a promising candidate toward realizing denser, faster, and more robust future spin-electronic devices, despite the difficulty to control. In this work, we aim to develop and investigate a new class of antiferromagnetic materials, transition metal intercalated van der Waals materials with non-coplanar spin texture. Utilizing the unique feature of simultaneous symmetry breaking in this material, we would like to pursuit 2 targets: (i) Non-reciprocal transport phenomena in chiral antiferromagnet with broken time-reversal symmetry and (ii) Manipulation of antiferromagnetic states with electric current. Successful observation of these phenomene may pave a new way toward establishing an effective method for reading out and writing AFM states.
