• Abstract: Quasi one-dimensional (1D) vanadium tetrasulfide ($VS_4$) nanowires (NWs) are synthetic semiconductors which combine with each other through Van der Waals interactions to form bulk phases. However, the properties of these individual nanowires remain unknown. Nevertheless, our calculations of their stability indicate that $VS_4$) NWs can be separated from their bulk structures. Accordingly, we theoretically investigated the geometrical, electronic, and magnetic properties of bulk phase and isolated $VS_4$ NWs. Our results indicate that both bulk phase and isolated $VS_4$ NWs are semiconductors with band gaps of 2.24 and 2.64 eV, respectively, and that they prefer the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state based on DFT calculations. These calculations also suggested that isolated $VS_4$ NWs show half-metallic antiferromagnetism upon electron and hole doping because carrier doping splits the spin degeneracy to induce local spin polarisation. As a result, spin polarisation currents in isolated $VS_4$ NWs can be manipulated with locally applied gate voltage. Therefore, these 1D AFM materials have a high potential for advancing both fundamental research and spintronic applications because they are more resistant to magnetic perturbation than their 1D ferromagnetic counterparts.

  We propose a one-dimensional electronic nanodevice inspired in recently fabricated semiconductor-superconductor-ferromagnetic insulator hybrids. We show that the device can be tuned across spin- and fermion parity-changing QPTs by adjusting the FMI layer length orange and/or by applying a global backgate voltage. Our findings suggest that these effects are experimentally accessible and offer a robust platform for studying quantum phase transitions in hybrid nanowires.
