Abstract
For two-dimensional (2D) materials, piezoelectric ferromagnetism with large out-of-plane piezoresponse is highly desirable for multifunctional ultrathin piezoelectric device application. Here, we predict that Janus monolayer CrSCl is an out-of-plane ferromagnetic semiconductor with large vertical piezoelectric response and high Curie temperature. The predicted out-of-plane piezoelectric strain coefficient d31 is −1.58 pm/V, which is higher than that of most 2D materials (compare absolute values of d31). The large out-of-plane piezoelectricity is robust against electronic correlation and biaxial strain, confirming reliability of large d31. The calculated results show that tensile strain is conducive to high Curie temperature, large magnetic anisotropy energy, and large d31. Finally, by comparing d31 of CrYX (Y = S; X = Cl, Br, I) and CrYX (Y = O; X = F, Cl, Br), we conclude that the size of d31 is positively related to electronegativity difference of X and Y atoms. Such findings can provide valuable guidelines for designing 2D piezoelectric materials with large vertical piezoelectric response.
