Neighboring carbon and sandwiched between non‐metals and metals in the periodic table
of the elements, boron is one of the most chemically and physically versatile elements, and …

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 …

We report the successful preparation of a purely honeycomb, graphene-like borophene, by
using an Al (1 1 1) surface as the substrate and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth in …

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 …

The fascinating electronic and optoelectronic properties of free‐standing graphene has led
to the exploration of alternative two‐dimensional materials that can be easily integrated with …

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 …

Silicene, a two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb structure similar to graphene, has been
successfully fabricated on an Ir (111) substrate. It is characterized as a (√ 7×√ 7) …

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

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 …

Inspired by the great development of graphene, more and more research has been
conducted to seek new two-dimensional (2D) materials with Dirac cones. Although 2D Dirac …
