The Rashba effect and valley polarization provide a novel paradigm in quantum information technology. However, practical materials are scarce. Here, we found a new class of Janus monolayers VXY (X = Cl, Br, I; Y = Se, Te) with excellent valley polarization effect. In particular, Janus VBrSe shows Zeeman type spin splitting of 14 meV, large Berry curvature of 182.73 bohr2, and, at the same time, a large Rashba parameter of 176.89 meV·Å. We use the k·p theory to analyze the relationship between the lattice constant and the curvature of the Berry. The Berry curvature can be adjusted by changing the lattice parameter, which will greatly improve the transverse velocities of carriers and promote the efficiency of the valley Hall device. By applying biaxial strain onto VBrSe, we can see that there is a correlation between Berry curvature and lattice constant, which further validates the above theory. All these results provide tantalizing opportunities for efficient spintronics and valleytronics.

Over the past half a century, considerable research activities have been directing towards the development of magnetic semiconductors that can work at room temperature. These efforts were aimed at seeking room temperature magnetic semiconductors with strong and controllable s, p–d exchange interaction. With this s, p–d exchange interaction, one can utilize the spin degree of freedom to design applicable spintronics devices with very attractive functions that are not available in conventional semiconductors. Here, we first review the progress in understanding of this particular material and the dilemma to prepare a room temperature magnetic semiconductor. Then we discuss recent experimental progresses to pursue strong s, p–d interaction to realize room temperature magnetic semiconductors, which are achieved by introducing a very high concentration of magnetic atoms by means of low-temperature nonequilibrium growth.

Praseodymium-ion-doped gain materials have the superiority of lasing at various visible wavelengths directly. Simple and compact visible lasers are booming with the development of blue laser diodes in recent years. In this Letter, we demonstrate the watt-level red laser with a single blue laser diode and Pr:YLiF4 crystal. On this basis, the passively Q-switched pulse lasers are obtained with monolayer graphene and Co:ZnO thin film as the Q-switchers in the visible range.
