Having confirmed the existence of layered Sc2C as a thermodynamically stable material, we examined the material's electride character. In the experimental structure determined from our Rietveld refinement, there was a longer scandium-scandium distance (3.53 Å) compared to scandium metal (3.22 Å) and Sc2O3 (3.27 Å). This increased distance could indicate that electride electrons are present, so we sought evidence by calculating the electron localization function (ELF) using the hybrid DFT functional HSE-06. The ELF measures the degree of electron spatial localization compared to a reference electron with the same spin, and provides a map of electron probability across a system. The ELF of Sc2C shows localization of electrons that are not associated with either the scandium or carbon atoms, and indicates that there is electride character in the layered structure (Figure ).
