Abstract Ultrathin two‐dimensional (2D) metallic materials with single‐or few‐atom
thickness, emerging as one new class of 2D materials, have attracted extraordinary interest …

A transition from a square to a hexagonal lattice is studied in a 2D system of particles
interacting via a core-softened potential. Due to the presence of two length scales of …

Common two-dimensional (2D) materials have a layered three-dimensional (3D) structure
with covalently bonded, atomically thin layers held together by weak van der Waals forces …

2D metals are emerging materials in the 2D nanomaterials family and a rapid development
is seen in the past few years. The properties of material that play a crucial role to determine …

The review is devoted to the current state of research in one of the topical areas of the
physics and chemistry of two-dimensional materials—the study of atomically thin films. The …

The successful isolation and remarkable properties of graphene have recently triggered
investigation of two-dimensional (2D) materials from layered compounds; however, one …

Stable planar hypercoordinate motifs have been recently demonstrated in two-dimensional
(2D) confinement systems, while perfectly planar hypercoordinate motifs in 2D carbon …

Unlocking of the extremely inert C= O bond during electrochemical CO2 reduction demands
subtle regulation on a key “resource”, protons, necessary for intermediate conversion but …

Polonium is known as the only simple metal that has the simple cubic (SC) lattice in three
dimension. There is a debate about whether the stabilized SC structure is attributed to the …
