“…32 These results all show that the magnetic properties of 2D materials can be effectively manipulated by strain engineering, doping and other regulatory means, which is expected to be used in the development of spintronic devices. In addition, transition metal halides have great potential applications in catalysis, 33,34 quantum transport, 29,30,35 ferroelectric materials, 36,37 and thermoelectricity. [38][39][40] In this large family, monolayer ScCl stands out due to its superior electronic properties.…”
