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 …

In the realm of two-dimensional (2D) materials, besides the ones initially peeled from
lamellar crystals, the artificial emerging elemental ones, called Xenes, appear as strong …

The (3× 3) R 30° honeycomb of silicene monolayer on Ag (111) was found to undergo a
phase transition to two types of mirror-symmetric boundary-separated rhombic phases at …

In condensed matter physics, the Kagome lattice and its inherent flat bands have attracted
considerable attention for their prediction and observation to host a variety of exotic physical …

Twenty five years after the first theoretical prediction of two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb-
like silicon and germanium, now coined silicene and germanene, the last Group 14 artificial …

Several approaches for surface-sensitive conductance measurements are reviewed.
Particular emphasis is placed on nanoscale multi-point probe techniques. The results for two …

Properties of the zigzag spin chains with various nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-
neighbor interactions are studied by making use of the transfer-matrix renormalization group …

The compelling experimental evidence of multilayer silicene synthesis on one monolayer of
silver deposited on a silicon substrate, Si (111)√ 3×√ 3-Ag, used as a template is reported …

Following our previous work (Hirahara T et al 2007 Phys. Rev. B 76 153305), we have
performed spin-and angle-resolved photoemission measurements at∼ 120 K on ultrathin Bi …

The “multilayer silicene” films were grown on Ag (111), with increasing thickness above 30
monolayers (ML). Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) observations suggest that the …
