Using the first-principles calculations, we systematically investigated magnetic properties of a MnBi2Te4 (MBT) monolayer in contact with III2-VI3 two-dimensional ferroelectric substrates. As the electric polarization in the ferroelectric films is switched, a semiconductor to half-metal transition occurs in MBT, and its magnetic easy axis in several cases reorients. As an example, the Curie temperature of MBT/In2Se3 can be enhanced to 21.5 or 32 K under the influence of electric polarization and biaxial strain, much higher than that of the pristine MBT monolayer, which is 14.5 K in our calculations. Our results suggest effective ways to tune magnetic properties of MBT and provide useful insights for the further development of these important van der Waals functional materials.
