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, 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 …

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 …

Abstract 2D materials have attracted considerable attention in the past decade for their
superlative physical properties. These materials consist of atomically thin sheets exhibiting …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit a wide range of atomic structures, compositions, and
associated versatility of properties. Furthermore, for a given composition, a variety of …

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 …
