Abstract:
Recently, the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) has been theoretically proposed in compensated antiferromagnetic systems by using the magnetic topological insulator model [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 116603 (2025)10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.116603]. However, the related and systematic study based on a realistic material system is still limited. As the only experimentally realized antiferromagnetic topological insulator, MnBi2Te4 becomes a vital platform for exploring various topological states. In this work, by using comprehensive first-principles calculations, we illustrate that the QAHE can also be realized in compensated antiferromagnetic even-septuple-layer MnBi2Te4 without combined parity-time (PT) symmetry. Using a magnetic topological insulator model, the layer-resolved Chern number is calculated to further understand the presence of different Chern numbers. The application of external hydrostatic pressure will strengthen the Te-Te quasicovalent bond due to the dramatic compression of the van der Waals gap. Thus, the topological nontrivial gap exceeds the room-temperature energy scale in a wide range of pressures. Additionally, we find that constructing MnBi2Te4/CrI3 heterostructure can realize the compensated antiferromagnetic configurations with QAHE. Our work demonstrates the realization of QAHE in compensated antiferromagnetic even-septuple-layer MnBi2Te4 and provides a reliable strategy to obtain the corresponding magnetic configurations. © 2025 American Physical Society.
