Multipiezo effect in altermagnetic V2SeTeO monolayer

Inspired by recent theoretical proposal on the interesting piezomagnetism and C-paired valley polarization in V2Se2O monolayer, we predict a stable antiferromagnetic Janus monolayer V2SeTeO with altermagnetic configuration using density functional theory calculations. It exhibits a novel multi-piezo effect combining piezoelectric, piezovalley and piezomagnetism. Most interestingly, the valley polarization and the net magnetization under strain in V2SeTeO exceed these in V2Se2O, along with the additional large piezoelectric coefficient of e31 (0.322*10-10 C m-1). The multi-piezo effect makes antiferromagnetic Janus monolayer V2SeTeO a tantalizing material for potential applications in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, spintronics and valleytronics.
