Low‐dimensional materials have been long sought after for their particular electromagnetic
(EM) functions, with promising applications in EM wave absorbing and shielding …

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 …

Recent studies have revealed that single-layer transition-metal oxides and dichalcogenides
(MX2) might offer properties superior to those of graphene. So far, only very few MX2 …

Graphene, an atomic monolayer of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice realized in 2004,
has rapidly risen as the hottest star in materials science due to its exceptional properties …

Silicon carbide (SiC) is recognized as a notable semiconductor because of its outstanding
characteristics, for instance wide-bandgap, outstanding magnetic properties, extraordinary …

As nanotechnology rapidly advanced over the past decades, a variety of nanomaterials
have been developed and studied. Among them, SiC nanomaterials have recently attracted …

Silicon carbide nanosheets (SiCNSs) have a very broad application prospect in the field of
new two-dimensional (2D) materials. In this paper, the interlayer interaction mechanism of …

Silicon carbide (SiC), one of the third‐generation semiconductor materials with excellent
electrical and optoelectronic properties, is ideal for high light‐sensing performance. Here, a …

Using the density functional theory calculations, we systematically investigate the structures
and properties of silicene-like SiX and XSi3 (X= B, C, N, Al, P) hexagonal heterosheets. For …

This tutorial review describes the ongoing effort to convert main-group elements of the
periodic table and their combinations into stable 2D materials, which is sometimes called …
