Abstract

Read online

Two dimensional (2D) material with intriguing physical properties promises advanced electronic and spintronic technologies. Here the authors predict a magnetic photo-galvanic effect (MPGE) in bilayer 2D CrI3 due to the magnetism-induced asymmetry of the carrier velocity in the band-structure topology.
