Flexomagnetic noncollinear state with a plumb line shape spin configuration in edged two-dimensional magnetic CrI3

Abstract The flexomagnetic effect involves the coupling of inhomogeneous mechanical and magnetic excitations to generate exotic spin orders. intrinsic edge stress associated with lifting periodic degeneracy at surfaces or edges in nanostructures facilitates flexocoupling effects. Here, we combine first-principles calculation Maximum Information Coefficient (MIC) statistics quantitatively reveal impact bending on geometries, ordering state, exchange interactions chromium triiodide (CrI 3 ) nanoribbons. Our results a divergent ground state small curvature but plumb line shape noncollinear large curvatures. More importantly, our work establishes gradient dependence locally asymmetric angles Cr-I-Cr hinge, governed by t 2g e g states Cr. superexchange accompanied bending-induced deformation sheds light evolution coordinating systems for sensors spintronics.
