The pith

In FePS3, magnetoelastic coupling reorients zigzag transport paths to produce giant nonvolatile magnetoresistance up to 10,000 percent.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper demonstrates that giant magnetotransport responses can occur in a single two-dimensional antiferromagnet through reconstruction of real-space transport paths rather than spin-orbit coupling. In FePS3, charge carriers under suitable doping become confined to quasi-one-dimensional zigzag sublattice chains. Strain then lifts the degeneracy among symmetry-related chain variants via magnetoelastic coupling, reorienting the paths and causing large shifts in both longitudinal and transverse conductivities. This produces magnetoresistance ratios reaching 10^4 percent along with an energy-independent Hall ratio that exceeds values typical of conventional magnets. The result points to a practical route for high-contrast, reconfigurable spintronic devices that operate without relativistic effects.

Core claim

In the two-dimensional antiferromagnet FePS3, first-principles quantum transport calculations show that charge transport is strongly tied to quasi-one-dimensional zigzag sublattice chains and can be confined to them under suitable doping. Strain lifts the degeneracy among symmetry-related zigzag variants through magnetoelastic coupling, thereby reorienting these transport paths. As a result, both longitudinal and transverse conductivities change dramatically, yielding a giant magnetoelastic magnetoresistance of up to 10^4 percent and an energy-independent Hall ratio that far exceeds the spontaneous Hall ratios found in conventional magnets.

What carries the argument

Magnetoelastic reconstruction of nonrelativistic real-space transport paths along symmetry-related zigzag sublattice chains.

Load-bearing premise

Suitable doping confines transport to the zigzag chains while preserving the antiferromagnetic order, and first-principles calculations accurately capture the magnetoelastic coupling strength.

What would settle it

Apply uniaxial strain to doped FePS3 samples and measure whether the conductivity anisotropy reorients and the magnetoresistance reaches the predicted 10^4 percent value.

read the original abstract

Nonvolatile magnetotransport responses in a single magnetic material have generally not been expected to exhibit a large ON/OFF ratio, because they are usually tied to spin-orbit coupling and therefore remain relatively weak. Here we show, contrary to this expectation, that giant nonvolatile magnetotransport can arise in a single magnetic material through magnetoelastic reconstruction of nonrelativistic real-space transport paths. Using the two-dimensional antiferromagnet FePS$_{3}$ as a representative system, first-principles quantum transport calculations reveal that charge transport is strongly tied to its quasi-one-dimensional zigzag sublattice chains and, under suitable doping, can even become confined to them. Moreover, strain lifts the degeneracy among symmetry-related zigzag variants and thus reorients these transport paths through magnetoelastic coupling. As a result, both the longitudinal and transverse conductivities change dramatically, yielding a giant magnetoelastic magnetoresistance of up to $10^{4}$% and an energy-independent Hall ratio that far exceeds the spontaneous Hall ratios found in conventional magnets. These results establish a route to exploiting symmetry-related magnetic variants and their associated transport paths for reconfigurable, high-performance spintronic devices with large nonvolatile readout contrast.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The manuscript claims that in the 2D antiferromagnet FePS3, suitable doping confines charge transport to quasi-1D zigzag sublattice chains, and strain-driven magnetoelastic coupling reorients these paths by lifting degeneracy among symmetry-related variants. First-principles quantum transport calculations then show dramatic changes in longitudinal and transverse conductivities, producing a giant magnetoelastic magnetoresistance up to 10^4% and an energy-independent Hall ratio exceeding spontaneous Hall ratios in conventional magnets.

Significance. If validated, the magnetoelastic transport-path reconstruction mechanism would provide a route to large nonvolatile magnetotransport in a single AFM material, bypassing the usual limitations of spin-orbit coupling. The reported 10^4% MR and large Hall ratio would represent substantial advances for reconfigurable spintronic devices with high readout contrast. The emphasis on symmetry-related magnetic variants and their associated transport paths is conceptually novel and could inspire further work on strain-tunable quasi-1D conduction in layered magnets.

major comments (2)
  1. [Quantum transport calculations and doping discussion] The transport calculations rely on periodic supercells for the doped system to demonstrate clean confinement to zigzag chains and the resulting giant MR and Hall responses, but no analysis of disorder effects is provided. Real substitutional doping introduces random potentials, local distortions, and possible moment perturbations that generate backscattering; if the mean free path falls below the chain segment length, both the longitudinal conductivity suppression and transverse Hall signal would be reduced or eliminated, directly undermining the central 10^4% MR claim.
  2. [Methods and computational details] The abstract and main text state outcomes of first-principles calculations but supply no details on the DFT functional, k-point mesh, supercell size for doping, convergence thresholds, or error estimates for the conductivities. Without these, the quantitative reliability of the energy-independent Hall ratio and the strain-induced reorientation effects cannot be assessed, even though the central claims rest entirely on these numerical results.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Abstract and introduction] The term 'suitable doping' is used repeatedly without specifying the carrier concentration or dopant type that achieves chain confinement while preserving AFM order; a concrete range or example would improve clarity.
  2. [Figures] Figure captions and axis labels for the conductivity plots should explicitly state the strain values, doping levels, and energy windows used, to allow direct comparison with the reported 10^4% MR.

  1. Referee: The transport calculations rely on periodic supercells for the doped system to demonstrate clean confinement to zigzag chains and the resulting giant MR and Hall responses, but no analysis of disorder effects is provided. Real substitutional doping introduces random potentials, local distortions, and possible moment perturbations that generate backscattering; if the mean free path falls below the chain segment length, both the longitudinal conductivity suppression and transverse Hall signal would be reduced or eliminated, directly undermining the central 10^4% MR claim.

    Authors: We agree that the absence of disorder analysis is a limitation. Our calculations employ periodic supercells to isolate the intrinsic magnetoelastic transport-path reconstruction effect in the clean limit. Real doping will introduce scattering, and a quantitative treatment of random potentials or moment fluctuations would require additional large-scale simulations not performed here. In the revised manuscript we will add a dedicated paragraph in the discussion section acknowledging this point, noting that the predicted giant MR applies to high-quality samples at moderate doping where mean free paths remain comparable to or longer than chain segments (consistent with transport data on related 2D magnets), and outlining that disorder effects represent an important direction for future study. revision: partial

  2. Referee: The abstract and main text state outcomes of first-principles calculations but supply no details on the DFT functional, k-point mesh, supercell size for doping, convergence thresholds, or error estimates for the conductivities. Without these, the quantitative reliability of the energy-independent Hall ratio and the strain-induced reorientation effects cannot be assessed, even though the central claims rest entirely on these numerical results.

    Authors: We apologize for the omission. The revised manuscript will include a comprehensive Methods section (or expanded Computational Details subsection) that specifies the DFT functional and Hubbard U correction, k-point meshes for both self-consistent and transport calculations, supercell sizes used for the doped configurations, energy and force convergence thresholds, and any tests performed to estimate uncertainties in the conductivity and Hall-ratio values. These additions will enable independent assessment of the numerical results. revision: yes

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No circularity; results derive from independent first-principles calculations

full rationale

The paper's central claims rest on first-principles quantum transport calculations applied to FePS3, which directly compute conductivities from the electronic structure under strain and doping assumptions. No parameter is fitted to the target magnetotransport quantities and then relabeled as a prediction; no derivation reduces by construction to its own inputs; and no load-bearing premise is justified solely by self-citation. The 'suitable doping' condition is an explicit modeling choice whose consequences are computed rather than presupposed, leaving the reported giant MR and Hall ratio as genuine outputs of the simulation rather than tautological restatements.
