Presently Si-based field-effect transistors (FETs) are approaching their physical limit, and
further scaling their gate length down to the sub-10 nm region is becoming extremely …

Boosted by the great success of graphene, the past decade has witnessed the rapid
development of graphene-analogous two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials. Despite the high …

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 …

The adsorption of common gas molecules (N2, CO, CO2, H2O, NH3, NO, NO2, and O2) on
germanene is studied with density functional theory. The results show that N2, CO, CO2, and …

Because of the zero-bandgap of group IV 2D materials such as graphene, silicene, and
germanene, 1, 2 it totally restricts their applications for channel and emission materials in …

Broken inversion symmetry in Janus structures leads to superior physical properties due to
the emergence of a non-zero dipole moment. Ga 2 Ge 2 XY (X, Y= S, Se, Te) monolayers …

Germanene is a two-dimensional nanomaterial that has been successfully synthesized and
has promising applications in sensing and energy storage. Recent research has focused on …

A new member of the IV–V compounds, germanium–phosphorus (Ge–P) compounds, has
been shown in experiment and theory to have a tunable bandgap (Eg), excellent chemical …

Adsorption of eight organic molecules (acetone, acetonitrile, ammonia, benzene, methane,
methanol, ethanol, and toluene) onto silicene has been investigated using van der Waals …

In this work, we have performed density functional theory-based calculations to study the
adsorption of H 2 molecules on germanene decorated with alkali atoms (AM) and transition …
