摘要: We investigate the magnetic and topological properties of Mn$_{2}X_{2}$Te$_{5}$ ($X = {\rm Bi}$, Sb) using first-principles calculations. We find that both Mn$_{2}$Bi$_{2}$Te$_{5}$ and Mn$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$Te$_{5}$ bilayers exhibit A-type antiferromagnetic order, which can be understood based on the Goodenough-Kanamori-Anderson rules. We further find that an appropriate hole doping can induce a transition from the A-type antiferromagnetic phase to the ferromagnetic phase in these systems, which also experience a transition from a normal insulator to a quantum anomalous Hall phase. Our study thus demonstrates that tunable magnetism and band topology can be achieved in Mn$_{2}X_{2}$Te$_{5}$, which may be utilized in the design of new functional electronic devices.
