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 …

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 …

Inspired by the success of graphene, various two dimensional (2D) structures in free
standing (FS)(hypothetical) form and on different substrates have been proposed recently …

During the last decade, there has been considerable interest of researchers towards the use
of two-dimensional (2D) materials for the electronic device implementations. The main …

In this Letter, we study the structural, electronic, and elastic properties of single-layer striped
borophene stacked on top of single-layer graphene. Through DFT calculation, we show that …

Silicene, a new allotrope of silicon in a two-dimensional honeycomb structure, has attracted
intensive research interest due to its novel physical and chemical properties. Unlike carbon …

The advent of graphene opens up the research into two‑dimensional (2D) materials, which
are considered revolutionary materials. Due to its unique geometric structure, graphene …

We develop an accurate interlayer pairwise potential derived from the ab initio calculations
and investigate the thermal transport of silicene bilayers within the framework of equilibrium …

The generalized tight-binding model is developed to investigate the rich and unique
electronic properties of AB-bt (bottom-top) bilayer silicene under uniform perpendicular …

Recently, a new compound, borophene-graphene vertical heterostructure, has been grown
successfully on argent substrate. Unlike van der Waals heterostructures composed of two …
