Silicene, a silicon analogue of graphene, has attracted increasing attention during the past
few years. As early as in 1994, the possibility of stage corrugation in the Si analogs of …

The great success of graphene has encouraged the fast development of other two-
dimensional (2D) nanosheets, which have attracted extensive attention in different scientific …

Interest in 2D materials and van der Waals solids is growing exponentially across various
scientific and engineering disciplines owing to their fascinating electrical, optical, chemical …

As an emerging subclass of 2D materials, Xenes (eg, borophene, silicene, germanene,
stanene, phosphorene, arsenene, antimonene, and bismuthene) consist of one single …

The adsorption of common gas molecules (N2, CO, CO2, H2O, NH3, NO, NO2, and O2) on
germanene is studied with density functional theory. The results show that N2, CO, CO2, and …

During the last decade, there has been considerable interest of researchers towards the use
of two-dimensional (2D) materials for the electronic device implementations. The main …

In the past decade, 2D materials such as graphitic carbon nitride, transition metal
dichalcogenides, layered metal oxides and hydroxides, hexagonal boron nitride and …

Plumbene, similar to silicene, has a buckled honeycomb structure with a large band gap (∼
400 meV). All previous studies have shown that it is a normal insulator. Here, we perform …

Study of half-metallicity has been performed in a new series of Mn2ScZ (Z= Si, Ge and Sn)
full Heusler alloys using density functional theory with the calculation and implementation of …

Atomically thin nanoribbons (NRs) have been at the forefront of materials science and
nanoelectronics in recent years. State-of-the-art research on nanoscale materials has …
