We report the growth of bilayer germanene on Cu (111) demonstrating for the first time the
presence of a nearly linear energy dispersion in the vicinity of the Fermi energy. Cu (111) …

The k-projection method provides an approach to separate the contributions from different
constituents in heterostructure systems, and can act as an aid to connect the results of …

α-Sn is well known as a typical Luttinger semimetal with a quadratic band touching at the Γ
point. Based on the effective k· p analysis as well as first-principles calculations, we …

The family of two-dimensional materials has been expanding rapidly over the last few years.
Within it, a special place is occupied by silicene, germanene, and stanene due to their …

Based on density functional theory, we have investigated the structural, electronic,
