Theoretical understanding of magnetic and electronic structures of Ti3C2 monolayer and its derivatives

Abstract: First-principles calculations were performed to investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of Ti 3 C 2 monolayer and its derivatives. We found that pristine Ti 3 C 2 monolayer acts as a magnetic metal, and magnetic moments come from Ti 2+ ions at two sides. Through doping nitrogen atoms, the spin moments is significantly reduced. On other hand, when two surfaces of Ti 3 C 2 monolayer are saturated by external groups, the magnetism will be spontaneously annihilated. Even for the saturation of one side, … Show more

“…3 Because of the unique structures, MXenes have potential applications in sensors, catalysts and electrochemical energy storage. 4 Recent theoretical investigations indicate that several MXenes, 4 such as Ti 3 C 2 , [5][6][7] Ti 3 N 2 , 5 Ti 3 CN, 7 Ti 2 C, Ti 2 N, 8,9 Ta 3 C 2 , 10 Cr 2 C and Cr 2 N, 11 as well as MXene nanoribbons 12 have magnetic ground states. They have interesting magnetism-related properties, such as half-metallicity of Cr 2 C 13 and near half-metallicity of Ti 2 C and Ti 2 N. 9 For Ti 2 C, the structure becomes a true half-metal with a minority-spin gap of 0.04 eV under a biaxial strain.…”

“…For example,Ti 3 CNT x andTi 4 C 3 T x are non-magnetic with the surface groups O, OH, F etc. [39,50,52], while at room temperature Cr 2 CT x and Cr 2 NT x are ferromagnetic with OH and F surface groups [18,40,54] and Mn NT x is ferromagnetic independent of the surface groups [17]. These are calculated predictions and more experimental observations are needed.…”

“…[ 14 ] Nevertheless, the calculations denote that the Ti 3 C 2 Tx single layer should be ferromagnetic. [ 126 ] The magnetic flash is produced due to Ti 3 d states, yet FG's surface termination process such as (O, H, F, and OH) can remove the magnetism effect because of the presence of saturated Ti surface atoms. [ 19 ]…”
