Discover how the magnetic properties of 2D electrides can be tuned by adjusting the spin-alignment of interstitial anionic electrons (IAEs). By substituting Sc in Y2C electrides, the localization of IAEs is enhanced, resulting in increased superparamagnetic behavior and improved electrical conduction. This demonstrates that structural modifications can tailor the physical properties of 2D electrides, similar to pressurized potassium metals.
