Nanomaterials have emerged as an amazing class of materials that consists of a broad
spectrum of examples with at least one dimension in the range of 1 to 100 nm. Exceptionally …

The invention of silica-based bioactive glass in the late 1960s has sparked significant
interest in exploring a wide range of silicon-containing biomaterials from the macroscale to …

Silicene, germanene and stanene are part of a monoelemental class of two-dimensional
(2D) crystals termed 2D-Xenes (X= Si, Ge, Sn and so on) which, together with their ligand …

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 …

Discovery of graphene and its astonishing properties have given birth to a new class of
materials known as “2D materials”. Motivated by the success of graphene, alternative …

We present the science and technology roadmap for graphene, related two-dimensional
crystals, and hybrid systems, targeting an evolution in technology, that might lead to impacts …

Silicene, the ultimate scaling of a silicon atomic sheet in a buckled honeycomb lattice,
represents a monoelemental class of two-dimensional (2D) materials similar to graphene …

This review presents the state of the art in strain and ripple-induced effects on the electronic
and optical properties of graphene. It starts by providing the crystallographic description of …

Graphene is composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional
(2D) honeycomb lattice. It is a fundamental building block for a range of well-known carbon …

Germanene, a 2D honeycomb structure similar to silicene, has been fabricated on Al (111).
The 2D germanene layer covers uniformly the substrate with a large coherence over the Al …
