Spin polarized nodal loop state at Fermi level in the monolayer PrClS.

ABSTRACT: The investigation of two-dimensional materials exhibiting half-metallicity and topological features has become a rapidly growing area of interest, driven by their immense potential in nanoscale spintronics and quantum electronics. In this work, we present a comprehensive study of a two-dimensional PrClS monolayer, revealing its remarkable electronic and mechanical properties. Under its ferromagnetic ground state, the PrClS monolayer is shown to exhibit half-metallic behavior with 100% spin polarization originating from the spin-up channel. Of particular significance is the discovery of a spin-polarized nodal loop state within the spin-up channel. This intriguing state, characterized by a critical dispersion type and its precise alignment with the Fermi energy level, represents a feature of
