| contents | Exploring combination of antiferromagnetic (AFM) spintronics and anomalous valley Hall effect (AVHE) is one of the most important questions for valleytronic applications. The key to address this issue is to achieve spin splitting around the valleys in AFM systems. Here, we propose a possible way for achieving AVHE in hexagonal AFM monolayer, which involves the isovalent alloying. This can break the combined symmetry ($PT$ symmetry) of spatial inversion ($P$) and time reversal ($T$), giving rise to spin splitting. More specifically, the large spin splitting around the Fermi energy level owes to $d$ orbital mismatch among these different transition metal ions. Based on first-principles calculations, the proposed way can be verified in out-of-plane AFM $\mathrm{CrMoC_2S_6}$ monolayer, which possesses spontaneous valley polarization and spitting splitting, providing possibility to realize AVHE. It is also proved that tensile strain can strengthen the valley splitting and maintain the out-of-plane AFM ordering. Our works provide an experimentally feasible way for developing AFM valleytronic devices. |
