Tuning the magnetic properties of Mn₂AC (A = Al, Ga, Ge) MAX-phase thin films via dimensionality, strain, and surface termination: DFT study

Using density functional theory (DFT-GGA), we study the magnetic and electronic properties of Mn 2 AC (A = Al, Ga, Ge) MAX-phase thin films, focusing on the effects of surface termination and in-plane strain. The magnetic ground state strongly depends on surface type: Mn C termin...
