We investigate the geometric, electric, and optical properties of two-dimensional honeycomb
lattices using first-principles simulations. The main focus of this work is on the similarities …

Strong in-plane bonding and weak van der Waals interplanar interactions characterize a
large number of layered materials, as epitomized by graphite. The advent of graphene (G) …

Graphene is the strongest material ever studied and can be an efficient substitute for silicon.
This six-volume handbook focuses on fabrication methods, nanostructure and atomic …

Spectroscopic ellipsometry was used to characterize the complex refractive index of
chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene grown on copper foils and transferred to glass …

Graphitic carbon nitride (gC 3 N 4) has recently triggered extensive investigations due to its
potential applications, such as in direct photochemical water splitting, CO 2 activation, and …

Silicene, which is the silicon equivalent of carbon-based graphene and shares some of the
unique properties with graphene, has been attracting more and more attention since its …

Electrons in graphene behave like Dirac fermions, permitting phenomena from high-energy
physics to be studied in a solid-state setting. A key question is whether or not these fermions …

The electronic structure and optical properties of hexagonal armchair and zigzag-edged
graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are investigated within the framework of many-body …

The out-of-plane optical constants of monolayer two-dimensional materials have proven to
be experimentally elusive. Owing to their reduced dimensionality, optical measurements …

The Casimir force between two infinitely thin parallel sheets in a setting of N such sheets is
found. The finite two-dimensional conductivities, which describe the dispersive and …
