| contents | MXene, the two-dimensional derivatives of MAX compounds, due to their structural and compositional flexibility, is an ideal family of compounds to study a number of structure-property relations. In this work, we have investigated the tunability of magnetic properties in Cr-based MXenes that have an in-plane ordering arising out of alloying Cr with another non-magnetic transition metal atom. Using Density Functional Theory based calculations we have explored the effects of composition and surface functionalisations on the electronic and magnetic properties of these in-plane ordered MXenes known as i-MXenes. We found that the electronic and magnetic ground states are quite sensitive to the structure and composition. This provides enough tunability in these compounds so that they can be used for practical applications. Our calculated results of magnetic transition temperatures and magnetic anisotropy energies are comparable to many a established two-dimensional magnets. These put together widen the prospect of these i-MXenes for multiple usage as magnetic devices making them attractive for further investigation. |
