Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we investigate a family of stable
two-dimensional crystals with chemical formula A 2 B 2, where A and B belong to groups IV …

Graphene, consisting of an inert, thermally stable material with an atomically flat, dangling-
bond-free surface, is by essence an ideal template layer for van der Waals heteroepitaxy of …

We report an investigation of the interactions of Li with silicene. We find silicene to be a
promising anode material for high energy density lithium-ion batteries. Based on first …

By means of comprehensive first-principles calculations, we investigate the stability,
electronic and optical properties of an AlAs/germanene heterostructure. In particular, electric …

Two-dimensional materials are in the forefront of material research due to their attractive
