The stable MnS monolayer was recently predicted using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) including Hubbard U (DFT+U) correction and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. It is shown to exhibit an indirect band gap of 0.68 eV semiconductor with a high Neel temperature (T_N) of 720 K and an in-plane easy axis magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE). The considered on-site Hubbard U correction takes into account only the Mn (3d) localized nature. To correct the inter-site errors due to strong hybridization between bonded Mn (3d) and S (2p) states, the Hubbard +V inter-site parameter should be added to the calculations. In this study, the band gap of MnS is found to be increased to 1.24 eV (twice that for DFT+U) after considering the inter-site V correction (DFT+U+V). Since the MnS monolayer prefers an in-plane easy axis for the MAE, the estimated Berezinskii Kosterlitz Thouless transition (BKT) transition temperature is as high as 1667.8 K. The carrier mobility is calculated based on the deformation potential and effective mass and it is found that holes (2.12 〖cm〗^2 v^(-1) S^(-1)) are twice the size of these electrons (1.21 〖cm〗^2 v^(-1) S^(-1)). The results are expected to improve the potential of the MnS monolayers in multiple AFM spintronic device applications.
