| contents | We present systematic first-principles results for the electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional transition-metal trihalide monolayers MX3 (M = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Pd; X = F, Cl, Br, I), focusing on their potential to host the quantum anomalous Hall effect. In particular, MnF3 and PdF3 exhibit a spin-polarized Dirac cone at the K point, spin-orbit coupling opens a sizable gap with a nonzero Chern number. Nanoribbon slab calculations reveal gap-crossing chiral edge states, establishing the nontrivial topological character. Beyond these case studies, our systematic screening clarifies general trends across the MX3 family and provides insight into how electronic configuration and spin-orbit coupling cooperate to produce magnetic and topological phases in two-dimensional magnets. |
