Distinct ferrovalley characteristics of the Janus RuClX (X = F, Br) monolayer

Abstract

orbitals. Interestingly, the valley polarizations in the Janus RuClF and RuClBr monolayers appeared in their valence band and conduction band, respectively. Thus, two anomalous valley Hall devices are proposed using the present Janus RuClF and RuClBr monolayers with hole and electron doping, respectively. This study provides interesting and alternative candidate materials for the development of valleytronic devices.
