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 …

Silicene, a single‐layer‐thick silicon nanosheet with a honeycomb structure, is successfully
fabricated by the molecular‐beam‐epitaxy (MBE) deposition method on metallic substrates …

Monolayer germanene, a novel graphene-like germanium allotrope akin to silicene has
been recently grown on metallic substrates. Lying directly on the metal surfaces the …

The fascinating electronic and optoelectronic properties of freestanding graphene and the
possible inclusion of novel two-dimensional (2D) systems in silicon-based electronics have …

Silicene is the silicon counterpart of graphene, ie it consists in a single layer of Si atoms with
a hexagonal arrangement. We present a review of recent theoretical and experimental …

Since the breakthrough of graphene, considerable efforts have been made to search for two-
dimensional (2D) materials composed of other group 14 elements, in particular silicon and …

Silicene is sometimes thought of as the Si alter ego of graphene. However, experimental
evidence indicates that silicene is substantially different from graphene in terms of its …

The epitaxial growth and the electrical resistance of multilayer silicene on the Ag (111)
surface has been investigated. We show that the atomic structure of the first silicene layer …

A silicon monatomic layer (ie, silicene) forms an ordered phase on the surface of ZrC (111)
in the 2× 2 periodicity of the substrate. For the first time, phonon dispersion relations were …

Silicene is a two-dimensional allotrope of silicon with a puckered hexagonal structure
closely related to the structure of graphene and that has been predicted to be stable. To …
