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 …

Silicene, the ultimate scaling of a silicon atomic sheet in a buckled honeycomb lattice,
represents a monoelemental class of two-dimensional (2D) materials similar to graphene …

We have grown an atom-thin, ordered, two-dimensional multi-phase film in situ through
germanium molecular beam epitaxy using a gold (111) surface as a substrate. Its growth is …

The fascinating electronic and optoelectronic properties of free‐standing graphene has led
to the exploration of alternative two‐dimensional materials that can be easily integrated with …

Silicene, a two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb structure similar to graphene, has been
successfully fabricated on an Ir (111) substrate. It is characterized as a (√ 7×√ 7) …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit a wide range of atomic structures, compositions, and
associated versatility of properties. Furthermore, for a given composition, a variety of …

Monolayer germanene, a novel graphene-like germanium allotrope akin to silicene has
been recently grown on metallic substrates. Lying directly on the metal surfaces the …

Silicene is emerging as a two-dimensional material with very attractive electronic properties
for a wide range of applications; it is a particularly promising material for nano-electronics in …

Silicene is a one-atom-thick two-dimensional crystal of silicon with a hexagonal lattice
structure that is related to that of graphene but with atomic bonds that are buckled rather …

We demonstrate that silicene, a 2D honeycomb lattice consisting of Si atoms, loses its Dirac
fermion characteristics due to substrate-induced symmetry breaking when synthesized on …
