Generic Approach to Intrinsic Magnetic Second-Order Topological Insulators via Inverted p–d Orbitals

The integration of intrinsically magnetic and topologically nontrivial two-dimensional materials holds tantalizing prospects for exotic quantum anomalous Hall insulators and magnetic second-order topological insulators (SOTIs). Compared with their well-studied nonmagnetic counterparts, the pursuit of intrinsic magnetic SOTIs remains limited. In this work, we address this gap by focusing on
