  • 隐藏交错磁性是指一类具有PT对称性的反铁磁体系, 整体净自旋极化为零, 但两个互为空间反演的子系统各自呈现交错磁性, 从而在实空间产生非零局域自旋极化. 本文基于第一性原理计算, 预测了具有PT对称性的双层V2SeTeO具有隐藏交错磁性, 并进一步证明可通过层间滑移、应变与外电场解除并调控隐藏自旋极化. 研究表明, 层间滑移可有效诱导并调控能谷劈裂与自旋劈裂; 应变与垂直电场可分别调控能谷劈裂与自旋劈裂. 本工作为调控隐藏交错磁体的自旋劈裂和能谷极化提供了有效策略, 对发展下一代谷电子学与自旋电子学器件具有参考意义.

     

    Hidden altermagnetism, characterized by zero net spin polarization but non-zero local spin polarization in two subsystems related by spatial inversion, has recently emerged as a promising route for spintronic and valleytronic applications. Here, using first-principles calculations, we systematically investigate the electronic structure, magnetic properties, and multi-field tunability of hidden altermagnetism in PT -symmetric bilayer V2SeTeO. We show that the bilayer with a Te-Te interface, possessing PT symmetry, is energetically most stable and exhibits hidden altermagnetism with an overall spin-degenerate band structure, while each individual layer displays pronounced local spin splitting. By applying interlayer sliding, we find that the A′B1 and A′B2 stacking configurations induce spontaneous valley polarizations with opposite signs, reaching a valley splitting of 35.5 meV at the valence band maximum, which enables a switchable anomalous valley Hall effect. Furthermore, uniaxial strain along the in-plane direction effectively tunes the valley splitting in the AA stacking, achieving a maximum of 102 meV under 2% compressive strain. In contrast, a perpendicular electric field linearly modulates the spin splitting at both the valence and conduction band edges (up to ~80 meV at 0.06 V/Å), and at higher fields (up to 0.2 V/Å) it drives the system into a nodal-loop semimetallic state protected by mirror symmetry. Additionally, when spin–orbit coupling is included, an in-plane magnetization along the x or y direction breaks the MxyT symmetry and induces a weak valley polarization of approximately 8–10 meV, whose sign can be reversed by switching the magnetization direction. Our results establish bilayer V2SeTeO as a versatile platform for the multi-field control of hidden altermagnetism and provide concrete strategies for designing low-power, non-volatile valleytronic and spintronic devices.
