Presently Si-based field-effect transistors (FETs) are approaching their physical limit, and
further scaling their gate length down to the sub-10 nm region is becoming extremely …

A new two dimensional (2D) material—germanane—has been synthesised recently with
promising electrical and optical properties. In this paper we report the first realisation of …

A recently synthesized layered material C 2 N was investigated based on many-body
perturbation theory using the GW plus Bethe-Salpeter equation approach. The electronic …

In-plane anisotropy of two-dimensional materials remains one of the most attracting
properties. By employing first-principles calculations, we systematically explore the …

Germanane is a two-dimensional, strongly confined form of germanium. It presents an
interesting combination of (i) ease of integration with CMOS technology,(ii) low toxicity, and …

Present report reviews the recent advancements in new atomically thick 2D materials.
Materials covered in this review are Graphene, Silicene, Germanene, Boron Nitride (BN) …

Abstract 3D printing is a cutting‐edge technology, that allows the printing of 3D objects
according to the design provided. Nanocarbon electrodes that can be fabricated using 3D …

Single-layer germanane (GeH) structures have been explored using evolutionary algorithms
combined with first-principles methods. The chair GeH is the most stable structure among all …

Hydrogenated group-IV layered materials are semiconducting forms of silicene, germanene
and stanene. We systematically studied the evolution of the structural, electronic and optical …

The hydrogen-passivated N chain zigzag silicon carbide nanoribbons (N-ZSiCNRs) are
indexed by their width N (the number of zigzag Si–C chains across the nanoribbon). Based …
