Two-dimensional magnetic topological materials have the following advantages:they have high flexibility and mechanical strength because of their only single-layer atomic structure;due to the interaction of magnetic and topological properties,they can realize very novel physical phenomena,such as quantum Hall effect,quantum anomalous Hall effect,nodal ring,etc.Therefore,two-dimensional magnetic topological materials have become a hot research topic in current physics.In this paper,we propose three two-dimensional magnetic topological materials based on first-principles calculations and discuss their properties and modulation means in detail.First of all,the search for two-dimensional nodal semimetallic materials is a current research hotspot in spintronics,and the design of a two-dimensional nodal ring(NR)material with high Curie temperature and strong robustness to spin-orbit coupling is an even greater challenge.Here,based on first-principles calculations and structural symmetry analysis,we predict that two-dimensional Mn2N3 is a nodal line semimetal with three energy bands near the Fermi energy level,consisting of electrons in the same spin channel.An electron-like energy band and two hole-like energy bands cross near the Fermi plane,forming two NRs centered at theΓpoint.symmetry analysis shows that the spin-polarized NRs are robust to spin-orbit coupling effects due to the preservation of horizontal mirror symmetry.Monte Carlo simulations further demonstrate that the Curie temperature of two-dimensional Mn2N3reaches 530 K,which is much higher than the room temperature.Notably,2D Mn2N3 remains a nodal ring half-metal on h-BN substrates.Our results not only reveal a general framework for designing two-dimensional NR materials,but also provide a possible design material for two-dimensional nodal ring semimetals.Then,we theoretically propose structurally stable monolayer halide chalcogenide Rb3Pd2Cl9.stability calculations and magnetic studies show that monolayer Rb3Pd2Cl9 is structurally stable,the magnetic ground state magnetic moment direction is along the in-plane,and the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition temperature is 301 K.Without considering the spin-orbit,the monolayer Rb3Pd2Cl9 behaves as a conductor when spin-orbit coupling effects are not considered.When spin-orbit coupling and changing the magnetic moment direction are further considered,the monolayer Rb3Pd2Cl9 can open a topologically non-trivial band gap of 1me V-4me V to achieve a high-temperature quantum anomalous Hall effect with C=±1.A small external magnetic field can modulate the sign of the Chen number by changing the magnetization direction.Our findings provide a potentially realizable platform for exploring the quantum anomalous Hall effect and spintronics at high temperatures.Finally,Mxenes can form a class of materials with millions of members by varying the number and type of transition metals and functional groups in the structure,and we have designed two-dimensional ScMoNFBr materials.By means of phonon spectroscopy calculations,molecular dynamics,cohesion energy calculations,and elastic constants,we demonstrate that two-dimensional ScMoNFBr is stable and has the conditions for experimental synthesis.Various anomalous energy calculations and magnetic studies of magnetocrystals indicate that the two-dimensional ScMoNFBr ground state is an out-of-plane ferromagnetic state.The two-dimensional ScMoNFBr is completely occupied by electrons with downward spin direction near the Fermi surface,and the electronic features are completely spin-polarized,which is a necessary condition for the quantum anomalous Hall effect by considering the flipping of the electronic energy bands of dx2 and dyz orbitals after the spin-orbit coupling.The edge state and Chen calculations prove that the two-dimensional ScMoNFBr is a quantum anomalous Hall effect insulator with Chen number 1.It is hoped that our computational results will provide a possible platform for the study of the quantum anomalous Hall effect.
