New arXiv (https://lnkd.in/dGC2nHHY), 'Magnetic proximity effect in biphenylene monolayer from first-principles', together with Diego López Alcalá. Thanks for your hard work, Diego! 📝 We perform a first principles study of the magnetic proximity effect in a heterostructure formed by a monolayer of the two-dimensional carbon allotrope biphenylene network (BPN) deposited on the surface of the above-room-temperature ferrimagnet yttrium iron garnet (YIG). Our results reveal strong hybridization between BPN orbitals and YIG surface states, resulting in non-homogeneous electron transfer and robust magnetic proximity effect. These findings highlight a promising strategy for inducing spin polarization in BPN without chemical modifications, opening new possibilities for BPN-based spintronic devices through the creation of heterostructures with magnetic materials.
