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 …

As a direct wide bandgap semiconducting material, two-dimensional, 2D, silicon carbide has
the potential to bring revolutionary advances into optoelectronic and electronic devices. It …

Using first-principles plane-wave calculations, we investigate two-dimensional (2D)
honeycomb structure of group-IV elements and their binary compounds as well as the …

Using the density functional theory calculations, we systematically investigate the structures
and properties of silicene-like SiX and XSi3 (X= B, C, N, Al, P) hexagonal heterosheets. For …

We present a study of mechanical, electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional
(2D), monolayer of silicon carbide (SiC) in honeycomb structure and its quasi-one …

Intrinsic semimetallicity of graphene and silicene largely limits their applications in functional
devices. Mixing carbon and silicon atoms to form two-dimensional (2D) silicon carbide (Si x …

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 …

Using first principles calculations, we investigate the electronic properties of silicon
nanoribbons (SiNRs). We find that the armchair SiNRs can be metals or semiconductors …

First-principles calculations are carried out to study the effects of strain on the electronic and
magnetic properties of MoS2 nanoribbons. We predict that MoS2 nanoribbons are …

We have calculated the electronic properties of graphene and SiC, GeC and SnC
monolayers in a two-dimensional graphene-like honeycomb structure under various …
