Using first-principles calculations based on density functional perturbation theory, we demonstrate hydrogenation-induced superconductivity in monolayer TiB2H. Hydrogen adatoms destroy the Dirac state of monolayer TiB2 and monolayer TiB2H has a high vibration frequency. Monolayer TiB2H is a phonon-mediated superconductor. Monolayer TiB2H has a predicted [Formula: see text] of 8[Formula: see text]K, which further increases under external tensile strain. Thus, this study extends our understanding of superconductivity in two-dimensional (2D) materials and its potential applications.

Decorating two-dimensional (2D) materials with transition-metal adatoms is an effective way to bring about new physical properties that are intriguing for applications in electronics and spintronics devices. Here, we systematically studied the coverage-dependent magnetic and electronic properties of graphene decorated by Co adatoms, based on first-principles calculations. We found that if the Co coverage is larger than 1/3[Formula: see text]ML, the Co atoms will aggregate to form a Co monolayer and then a van der Waals bilayer system between the Co monolayer and graphene forms. When the Co coverage is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]ML, the Co adatom is spin-polarized with spin moment varying from 1.1 to 1.4[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] orbitals of Co hybridize significantly with the [Formula: see text] bands of graphene, which generates a series of new bands in the energy range from [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]eV to 1[Formula: see text]eV with respect to the Dirac point of graphene. In most cases, the new bands near the Fermi level lead to topological states characterized by the quantum anomalous Hall effect.

Abstract Magnetic topological states have attracted significant attentions due to their intriguing quantum phenomena and potential applications in topological spintronic devices. Here, we propose a two-dimensional material NpAs monolayer as a candidate for multiple topological states accompanied with the changes of magnetic structures. Under the antiferromagnetic configuration, the long-awaited topological crystalline insulator (TCI) emerges with a nonzero mirror Chern number $\mathcal{C_M} = 1$ and a giant band gap of 630 meV, and remarkably a pair of gapless edge states can be tailored by rotating the magnetization directions while the TCI phase survives. Moreover, we establish the existence of quantum anomalous Hall effect and nontrivial nodal points under the ferromagnetic configuration, thereby giving rise to the mixed Weyl semimetal after adding the magnetization direction to topological classification. Our findings not only provide an ideal candidate for uncovering exotic topological characters with magnetism but also put forward potential applications in topological spintronics.
