Abstract
, as revealed by the first-principles calculations. Besides, the AFM coupling is greatly enhanced by slightly decreasing lattice constants. Our work provides an ideal platform for further studying two-dimensional magnetism with non-collinear AFM ordering and for investigating the possibility of realizing the spin Hall effect in the ML limit.
