Two-dimensional diamond, or diamane, is an ultrathin film with unique physical properties
that combine the record values of the bulk crystal with the exciting features caused by the …

Graphene is an atomically thin, two-dimensional allotrope of carbon with exceptionally high
carrier mobilities, thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength. From a chemist's …

On the basis of first-principles calculations, we demonstrate the potential application of
silicene as a highly sensitive molecule sensor for NH3, NO, and NO2 molecules. NH3, NO …

We explore how a few-layer graphene can undergo phase transformation into thin diamond
film under reduced or no pressure, if the process is facilitated by hydrogenation of the …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) Janus materials with opposing components and properties
on two sides have recently attracted fevered attention from various research fields for use as …

Graphene is the strongest material ever studied and can be an efficient substitute for silicon.
This six-volume handbook focuses on fabrication methods, nanostructure and atomic …

Employing first-principles calculations, the stabilities, electronic and optical properties of
halogenated diamane (C4X2; X= F, Cl, Br) are systematically investigated. In particular …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials open up tremendous opportunities for attractive
applications in next-generation flexible and transparent nanoelectronic devices. In this work …

Herein, we have explored theoretically the effects of surface modification (fluorination) on
electronic and optical properties of graphene/h-BN heterobilayer. Graphene/h-BN …

We investigated theoretically the hydrogen permeability and selectivity of a porous silicene
membrane via first-principles calculations. The subnanometer pores of the silicene …
