In this work we use density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory (DFT + DMFT), to investigate in detail the electronic structures of 3D and 2D MnSn in the Ferromagnetic phase. We study the flat bands (FBs) in this material and discuss the composition, energetic position and correlation nature of these FBs. We also use a combination of first principles and Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the curie temperature and susceptibility of 3D and 2D MnSn using Heisenberg model. We study the mechanical and thermodynamic stability of 3D and 2D MnSn and investigate the stability of 2D MnSn deposited onto a silicon (111) substrate for potential utilization of this 2D magnetic material in ultra thin spintronic devices.
