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 …

Recent advances in the fabrication of silicene devices have raised exciting prospects for
practical applications such as gas sensing. We investigated the gas detection performance …

In recent times 2D nanosheets have come to the fore of the attention of researchers due to
their unique properties. In this work, the comparative studies between graphene and silicene …

By means of comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) computations, we designed a
new two-dimensional (2D) structure of silicon, namely, tetra-silicene. In tetra-silicene, each …

First-principles calculations were performed to investigate the electronic structure of two-
dimensional (2-D) Ge, Sn, and Pb without and with the presence of an external electric field …

One-atom-thick silicene is a silicon-based hexagonal-lattice material with buckled structure,
where an electron fuses multiple degrees of freedom including spin, sublattice pseudospin …

Akin to electron spin, the valley has become another highly valued degree of freedom in
modern electronics, specifically after tremendous studies on monolayers of group-IV …
