contents Monolayer Fe$_2$C is expected to possess strong electronic correlations, which can significantly contribute to electronic and magnetic properties. In this work we consider electronic and magnetic properties of MXene Fe$_2$C within the DFT+DMFT approach. We establish the existence of local magnetic moments $μ=3.2μ_B$ in this compound, characterized by sufficiently long lifetime of $τ\sim 350$ fs. We also calculate exchange interaction parameters accounting for electronic correlations using the recently developed approach for paramagnetic phase. We obtain the strongest exchange interaction $11$ meV between next nearest neighboring Fe atoms above (and below) the carbon plane, and the subleading interaction $6$ meV between the next to next nearest neighboring atoms across the carbon plane. The resulting dependence of the Berzinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) and Curie temperatures on magnetic anisotropy is obtained. The BKT temperature for the pristine Fe$_2$C is $T_{\rm BKT}\simeq 290$ K, which makes this compound a good candidate for the two-dimensional ferromagnet with XY anisotropy.
