摘要

Magnetic nodal-line semiconductors, characterized by colossal magnetoresistance due to the lifting of spin orientation-dependent topological band degeneracy, hold great potential for advanced spintronic applications. However, a key challenge for the practical use of such topological magnets is their low magnetic transition temperature (TC). Through first-principles calculations, we identify the self-intercalated van der Waals ferrimagnet Tc3Si2Te6 as a high-TC (~268 K) magnetic nodal-line semiconductor. Furthermore, we find that magnetic nodal-line semiconductors can exist in dually doped Tc3(Si1-αYα)2(Te1-βZβ)6 (Y = Ge and Sn; Z = S and Se) over a broad range of α and β. Particularly, Tc3(Si0.05Ge0.95)2(Te0.70Se0.30)6 is shown to be a near room-temperature magnetic nodal-line semiconductor with a sizable band gap. Our findings suggest Tc-based self-intercalated van der Waals ferrimagnets are promising magnetic nodal-line semiconductors for practical applications in spintronic devices.
