Starting from 108,423 unique, experimentally known 3D compounds, an international team of researchers (Switzerland, Lithuania) has identified a subset of 5,619 compounds that appear layered according to robust geometric and bonding criteria. Out of those 1,825 compounds are either easily or potentially exfoliable. For a subset of 258 compounds, they explored vibrational, electronic, magnetic and topological properties, identifying 56 ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems, including half-metals and half-semiconductors. The research paves the way for groundbreaking technological applications… read more. TECHNICAL ARTICLE
