Abstract
In the past decade, two-dimensional (2D) materials and spintronic materials have been rapidly developing in recent years. 2D spin-gapless semiconductors (SGSs) are a novel class of ferromagnetic 2D spintronic materials with possible high Curie temperature, 100% spin-polarization, possible one-dimensional or zero-dimensional topological signatures, and other exciting spin transport properties. In this mini-review, we summarize a series of ideal 2D SGSs in the last 3 years, including 2D oxalate-based metal-organic frameworks, 2D single-layer Fe(2)I(2,) 2D Cr(2)X(3) (X = S, Se, and Te) monolayer with the honeycomb kagome (HK) lattice, 2D CrGa(2)Se(4) monolayer, 2D HK Mn-cyanogen lattice, 2D MnNF monolayer, and 2D Fe(4)N(2) pentagon crystal. The mini-review also discusses the unique magnetic, electronic, topological, and spin-transport properties and the possible application of these 2D SGSs. The mini-review can be regarded as an improved understanding of the current state of 2D SGSs in recent 3 years.
