Electrides are ionic substances in which the anionic species is stoichiometrically replaced
with localized electrons that reside within crystal voids. Originally discovered in 1983, the …

Extraordinary light–matter interaction on the surface of metallic nanostructures can excite
surface plasmons (SPs), followed by generation of charge carriers with high energy, that …

In the current stage, conventional silicon-based devices are suffering from the scaling limits
and the Fermi level pinning effect. Therefore, looking for low-resistance metal contacts for …

We have measured the two-dimensional image potential states (IPS) of a germanene layer
synthesized on a Ge 2 Pt crystal using scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy …

Introducing magnetism to anionic electrons (AE) of electrides, especially for those confined
in two-dimensional (2D) interlayer spaces, could provide a promising way to generate 2D …

Emergent fermions arising from the excess electrons of electrides provide a new perspective
for exploring semimetal states with unique Fermi surface geometries. In this study, a class of …

Strong magnetoelectric effects in single-phase two-dimensional (2D) materials are
extremely rare in nature. Here by first-principles calculations, we find a strong …

Electrides are ionic compounds in which electrons behave as anions in the interior of a
positively charged framework. As a layered electride, Gd 2 C receives attention because of …

We designed two stable monolayers of Ca 2 NOH and Y 2 C (OH) 2 through replacing the
anionic electrons with negatively charged hydroxide ions. Calculation results indicate that …

The widely-studied ferromagnetic van-der-Waals (vdW) metal Fe 3 GeTe 2 has great
promise for studies of quantum criticality in the 2D limit, but is limited by a relatively high …
