An electride, a generalized form of cavity-trapped interstitial anionic electrons (IAEs) in a
positively charged lattice framework, shows exotic properties according to the size and …

Ab initio electronic structure calculations show that the recently identified quasi-two-
dimensional electride Y 2 C is a weak itinerant ferromagnet or is at least close to a …

Atomic orbitals play fundamental roles in the modern theory of magnetism, not only
providing local moments via their partial occupation, but also offering exchange interactions …

Inspired by the recent demonstration that Ca 2 N is a two-dimensional electride in which
electrons near the Fermi level float between ionic layers, we have conducted a systematic …

We report that the spin-alignment of interstitial anionic electrons (IAEs) in two-dimensional
(2D) interlayer spacing can be tuned by chemical pressure that controls the magnetic …

Recently, two-dimensional layered electrides have emerged as a new class of materials
which possess anionic electrons in the interstitial spaces between cationic layers. Here …

Electrides are ionic crystals in which the anionic electrons are confined to interstitial
subnanometer-sized spaces. At present, the reported electrides only consist of main-group …

Despite their extraordinary properties, electrides are still a relatively unexplored class of
materials with only a few compounds grown experimentally. Especially for layered …

We have synthesized a single crystalline Y2C electride of centimeter-scale by floating-zone
method and successfully characterized its anisotropic electrical and magnetic properties. In …

Recent experimental discoveries of two-dimensional (2D) magnets have triggered intense
research activities to search for atomically thin magnetic systems. Using first-principles …
