AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Two-dimensional antiferromagnetic (AFM) materials with an intrinsic semiconductivity, a high critical temperature, and a sizable magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) have attracted extensive attention because they show promise for high-performance spintronic nanodevices. Here, we have identified a new FeCN monolayer with a unique zigzag Fe chain through first-principles swarm structural search calculations. It is an AFM semiconductor with a direct band gap of 2.04 eV, a Néel temperature () of 176 K, and a large in-plane MAE of 0.50 meV per Fe atom. More interestingly, the intrinsic antiferromagnetism, contributed by the strong magnetic coupling of neighbouring Fe ions, can be maintained under the external biaxial strains. A large cohesive energy and high dynamical stability favor synthesis and application. Therefore, these fascinating properties of the FeCN monolayer make it a promising nanoscale spintronic material.

Two-dimensional magnetic materials have demonstrated favorable properties (, large spin polarization and net magnetization) for the development of next-generation spintronic devices. The discovery of such materials and insight into their magnetic coupling mechanism has become a research focus. Here, on the basis of first-principles structural search calculations, we have identified a fresh FeCN monolayer consisting of edge-sharing Fe triangle sublattices and FeCN rings, which integrates antiferromagnetism, semiconductivity, and planarity.

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) provide a simple route to functionalize electrode surfaces with organic molecules. Herein we use cavity-containing derivatives of calix[4]arenes in SAMs. Bound to noble metal surface, the assembled molecules are candidates to serve as molecular sieves for H 2 molecules and H (+) ions, which could have relevance for fuel cell applications.
