Description

The development of spintronic devices demands the existence of materials with some kind of spin splitting (SS). In this work, we have built a database of ab initio calculated SS in 2D materials. More than that, we propose a workflow for materials design integrating an inverse design approach and a Bayesian inference optimization. We use the prediction of SS prototypes for spintronic applications as an illustrative example of the proposed workflow. The prediction process starts with the establishment of the design principles (the physical mechanism behind the target properties), that are used as filters for materials screening, and followed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Applying this process to the C2DB database, we identify and classify 315 2D materials according to SS type at the valence and/or conduction bands. The Bayesian optimization captures trends that are used for the rationalized design of 2D materials with the ideal conditions of band gap and SS for potential spintronics applications. This repository then contains the main source of data generated in this work, which encompasses full information regarding the materials structure and band structure calculations results, and a database of all the identified spin splittings for these compounds, available in multiple formats.
