Resum

The nature of the electronic ground state of the Ti2C MXene is unambiguously determined by making use of density functional theory-based calculations including hybrid functionals together with a stringent computational setup providing numerically converged results up to 1 meV. All the explored density functionals (i.e., PBE, PBE0, and HSE06) consistently predict that the Ti2C MXene has a magnetic ground state corresponding to antiferromagnetic (AFM)-coupled ferromagnetic (FM) layers. A spin model, with one unpaired electron per Ti center, consistent with the nature of the chemical bond emerging from the calculations, is presented in which the relevant magnetic coupling constants are extracted from total energy differences of the involved magnetic solutions using an appropriate mapping approach. The use of different density functionals enables us to define a realistic range for the magnitude of each of the magnetic coupling constants. The intralayer FM interaction is the dominant term, but the other two AFM interlayer couplings are noticeable and cannot be neglected. Thus, the spin model cannot be reduced to include nearest-neighbor interactions only. The Néel temperature is roughly estimated to be in the 220 ± 30 K, suggesting that this material can be used in practical applications in spintronics and related fields.
