Electromagnetically tunable spin-valley-polarized current via anomalous Nernst effect in monolayer of jacutingaite.

Monolayer jacutingaite (Pt2HgSe3) exhibits remarkable properties, including significant spin-orbit coupling and a tunable band gap, attributed to its buckled honeycomb geometry and the presence of heavy atoms. In this study, we explore the spin- and valley-dependent anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in jacutingaite under the influence of a vertical electric field, off-resonance circularly polarized light (OCPL), and an antiferromagnetic exchange field. Our findings, within the low-energy approximation, reveal the emergence of a perfectly spin-polarized ANE with the application of appropriate OCPL and a perfectly valley-polarized ANE under an antiferromagnetic exchange field. Leveraging the robust spin-orbit coupling inherent in monolayer jacutingaite, our study highlights the potential to attain perfectly spin-valley-polarized Nernst currents across a wide range of Fermi energy levels by combining these fields in pairs with a suitable strength. The findings can be used for the development of spin-valley-based optoelectronic devices. .
