In this work, we investigate intrinsic magnetic properties of monolayer electrides LaBr$_{2}$ and La$_{2}$Br$_{5}$, where excess electrons do not reside at any atomic orbital and act as anions located at interstitial regions. Having…
Electrides are ionic crystals in which the electrons prefer to occupy free space, serving as anions. Because the electrons prefer to be in the pockets, channels, or layers to the atomic orbitals around the nuclei, it has been challenging to…
The insulating state is one of the most basic electronic phases in condensed matter. This state is characterised by an energy gap for electronic excitations that makes an insulator electrically inert at low energy. However, for complex…
