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 …

Two-dimensional inorganic materials, such as exfoliated graphene, have been under much
research attention as of late, for their high surface-to-mass ratio and unique physical and …

Using systematic evolutionary structure searching we propose a new carbon allotrope,
phagraphene [fæ'græfi: n], standing for p enta-h exa-hept a-graphene, because the structure …

Two-dimensional materials, including graphene and its derivatives, MXenes, and transition
metal dichalcogenides, have attracted significant research attention due to their unique …

The use of nanomaterials for hydrogen storage could play a very important role in the large-
scale utilization of hydrogen as an energy source. However, nowadays several potential …

Shown here is the intrinsic carrier mobility (ICM) of germanene, a group-IV graphene-like
two-dimensional buckled nanosheet. Specifically, combining the Boltzmann transport …

Graphene was the first material predicted to realize a topological insulator (TI), but
unfortunately the gap is unobservably small due to carbon's weak spin-orbital coupling …

MoS 2, a member of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), has recently emerged as an
interesting two-dimensional material due to its unique mechanical, thermal, electronic and …

In this work, the hydrogen storage capacities of two-dimensional siligene (2D-SiGe)
functionalized with alkali metal (AM) and alkali-earth metal (AEM) atoms were studied using …

By using the density functional theory, we propose that the two-dimensional (2D) SiGe is a
promising anode material of a sodium or potassium ion battery. We confirm the thermal and …
