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 …

The great success of graphene has encouraged the fast development of other two-
dimensional (2D) nanosheets, which have attracted extensive attention in different scientific …

We present a comprehensive study of the band alignments of two-dimensional (2D)
semiconducting materials and highlight the possibilities of forming momentum-matched type …

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 …

First principles calculations were performed to systematically study the structural and
electronic properties of SF 6 decomposition gases (SO 2, HF, H 2 S, SOF 2 and SO 2 F 2) …

Advancements in 2D nanomaterials have been impacting a wide range of technology‐
driven applications. Here, the authors highlight stanene, a material that comprises a …

Germanium phosphide (GeP), a typical 2D group IV–V semiconductor, has attracted
significant attention due to the advantages of higher thermodynamic stability than black …

The dumbbell structure of two-dimensional group IV material offers alternatives to grow thin
films for diverse applications. Thermal properties are important for these applications. We …

Using first-principles calculations, we propose a new class of materials, Janus silicene,
which is silicene asymmetrically functionalized with hydrogen and halogen atoms …

This article theoretically explores the formation of dumbbell (DB)-like structures by elemental
adsorption on the recently synthesized C3N monolayer. Owing to the repulsion from N …
