description | In the pursuit of developing high-performance low-dimensional spintronic devices, two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures comprising non-magnetic nitride and ferromagnetic materials have emerged as a crucial area of investigation. This paper proposes a novel structure that employs hexagonal two-dimensional semiconductor GaN flanked by two half-metallic two-dimensional CrN layers. The stability of the proposed structure is verified via first-principles calculations, which indicate good thermodynamic and magnetic stability. The transport characteristics of electrons in the structure are analyzed through the Band structures and density of states. Specifically, the study examines the spin polarizability of parallel and anti-parallel magnetic configurations of the CrN/GaN/CrN vdW heterostructure, and the results demonstrate a significant spin valve effect. Overall, the study establishes the potential of the CrN/GaN/CrN vdW heterostructure as a candidate for the development of innovative spintronic devices. |
