Nodal-line half-metals (NLHMs) are highly desirable for future spintronic devices due to their exotic quantum properties. However, the experimental realization in spin-polarized materials is nontrivial to date. Herein we perform first-principles calculations to demonstrate a 2D honeycomb, AgN, as a promising candidate of NLHMs, which is thermodynamically and dynamically stable. Band structure analysis reveals that two concentric NLs coexist centered at a Γ point near EF, accompanied by the electron and hole pockets that touch each other linearly with single-spin components. Inclusion of SOC can enrich the electronic structures of AgN, sensitive to the protection of mirror reflection symmetry: the NLHM survives if the spin is perpendicular to the Mz mirror plane, while it tunes into Wyle nodal-points by rotating spins from the out-of-plane to the in-plane direction. The characteristics of HM and NL can be well maintained on semiconducting h-BN and is immune to mechanical strains. These tunable magnetic properties render 2D AgN suitable for exotic quantum transports in nodal fermions as well as related spintronic devices.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
