We present a comprehensive study of the electronic and magnetic structures of AgCrX2 (X=S, Se, Te) using first-principles density functional theory. The dichalcogenide AgCrX2 forms a layered triangular lattice akin to delafossite systems, but it lacks inversion symmetry. This absence contributes to unique properties, such as the spin-polarized surface state [1] and the unconventional anomalous Hall effect [2] in AgCrSe2. Our previous experiments on AgCrSe2 revealed a complex magnetic spin texture with a long cycloidal coupling in the plane and an anti-parallel coupling between layers below TN=32K [3]. This investigation aims to analyze electronic structure variations resulting from different covalency introduced by substituting chalcogen atoms. Additionally, using hopping parameters extracted by the Wannier function approach, we explore the intricate interplay between crystal and magnetic structures across all compounds of the series.
