Purpose
The project searches for and studies monolayer, bilayer and heterolayer electrenes derived from two-dimensional electrides, and develops quantum-mechanical approaches for their reliable description.
Russian Science Foundation project No. 25-23-00341
Electrenes: search and study of novel ultrathin materials by quantum-mechanical modelling
Metal Optics Laboratory · M.N. Mikheev Institute of Metal Physics, UB RAS
Official project record ↗Scientific tasks
The work addresses stability and electronic structure of ultrathin systems; the role of local and interstitial Coulomb interaction; and the response to strain, pressure, electron or hole doping and layer stacking.
Results reported for 2025
The RSF project record reports stable mono- and bilayer forms of XF (X = Ca, Sr, Ba), a predicted ferromagnetic state in monolayer BaF, and a comparison of DFT+U+V with DFT+DMFT for Li₈Au. The report distinguishes these results from the project’s planned work.
Scientific claims on this site are drawn from the listed publications and the official RSF project record. Predictions, computed results and experimentally established observations are distinguished in the relevant context.
