First-principles calculations to investigate electronic, elastic, and optical properties of one dimensional electride Y5Si3
Y5Si3 is an air- and water- stable electride in which part of electrons are confined in one-dimensional channels composed of Y atoms. Y5Si3 has a promoting effect on ammonia synthesis at ambient pressure due to the unique properties of these electrons at interstitial cavities (anionic electrons). He...
