Electrides are unconventional ionic crystals with excess electrons that decouple from the atomic nuclei and fill voids in the lattice. With layered electrides, the excess electrons form 2D delocalized sheets confined to the interstitial region between the atomic layers, or on their surfaces when exfoliated to form 2D electrides (known as “electrenes”). The spatial decoupling of the electrons...
Novel quasi-2D magnets are attracting much attention recently. The MBE synthesis route is highly desirable for interface control when implementing strain engineering and/or hybridizing with other quantum systems. In situ prepared atomically sharp interfaces further enable fundamentally new phenomena, while providing opportunities in spintronics, leveraging interface-driven versatility [1]....
We report X-ray powder diffraction, elemental analysis, electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) in single crystals of YNiSn2. This compound crystallizes in a orthorhombic crystal structure (space group Cmcm) with lattice parameters a = 4.409 ˚A, b = 16.435 ˚A, c = 4.339 ˚A. YNiSn2 presents a weak Pauli paramagnetic...
