Discovery of graphene and its astonishing properties have given birth to a new class of
materials known as “2D materials”. Motivated by the success of graphene, alternative …

Recently, several research groups have reported the growth of germanene, a new member
of the graphene family. Germanene is in many aspects very similar to graphene, but in …

Germanene, a 2D honeycomb structure similar to silicene, has been fabricated on Al (111).
The 2D germanene layer covers uniformly the substrate with a large coherence over the Al …

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) …

Graphene, an atomic monolayer of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice realized in 2004,
has rapidly risen as the hottest star in materials science due to its exceptional properties …

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 …

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 …

Multilayer silicene, the silicon analogue of multilayer graphene, grown on silver (111)
surfaces, possesses a honeycomb (√ 3×√ 3) R30 reconstruction, observed by scanning …

We report on the total-energy electronic-structure calculations on the basis of the density-
functional theory that clarify atomic and electronic structures of the silicene on the Ag (111) …
