Cr₂TiC₂-based double MXenes: novel 2D bipolar antiferromagnetic semiconductor with gate-controllable spin orientation toward antiferromagnetic spintronics

Abstract

We present that the asymmetrical and mixed functionalized double MXenes possess novel bipolar antiferromagnetic semiconductor (BAFS) feature, opening a new opportunity for the realization of antiferromagnetic spin field effect transistors.

Strain-Tunable Visible-Light-Responsive Photocatalytic Properties of Two-Dimensional CdS/g-C3N4: A Hybrid Density Functional Study

“…Since graphene was prepared, 2D materials including hexagonal boron nitride [14], graphite-like zinc oxide [15], transition-metal dichalcogenides [16], and MXenes [17] have been extensively investigated and utilized in the area of optoelectronics and photocatalysts. Particularly, the graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a prospective photocatalyst used for hydrogen generation by photocatalytic decomposition of water [18].…”

Control of spintronic and electronic properties of bimetallic and vacancy-ordered vanadium carbide MXenes via surface functionalization

“…Most MXenes have the high-symmetry P 31m space group [14,31,49]. In our case, the symmetry of bimetallic and vacancy-ordered MXenes is lower than that of the V 2 C MXene due to the presence of Zr atoms (or vacancy).…”

“…As a result of their synthesis, MXene surfaces are typically functionalized with surface-terminating groups such as O, F or OH [7]. Considering their properties, MXenes have been proposed as materials suitable for applications such as transparent conductive films, electromagnetic interference absorption and shielding devices, electrocatalysts, lithium-ion batteries cathods and supercapacitors [29,30,31]. In particular, many MXenes have shown potential for spintronics since they are often half semiconductors or half metals [14,17,18].…”
