As an emerging subclass of 2D materials, Xenes (eg, borophene, silicene, germanene,
stanene, phosphorene, arsenene, antimonene, and bismuthene) consist of one single …

The discovery of graphene and its remarkable and exotic properties have aroused interest in
other elements and molecules that form 2D atomic layers, such as metal chalcogenides …

Inspired by the success of graphene, various two dimensional (2D) structures in free
standing (FS)(hypothetical) form and on different substrates have been proposed recently …

Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials have attracted tremendous attention and led to a
prosperous development in both fundamental investigation and device applications in …

The new paradigm of solid-state catalysis is that coupling of plasmonic and catalytic metals
can be used to achieve much higher catalytic efficiency relative to their counterparts …

Opening up a band gap without lowering high carrier mobility and finding a suitable
substrate material are a challenge for designing silicon-based nanodevices. Using density …

It has been long sought to create magnetism out of simple non-magnetic materials, such as
silicon and germanium. Here we show that intrinsic magnetism exists in bilayer silicene and …

Here we study the optical properties of two dimensional pure, as well as doped, buckled
silicene nanosheets using density functional theory in the long wavelength limit. Optical …

The geometrical properties of 4‐Aminopyridine and the transition metal clusters M4 (M= Co,
Ni and Cu) adsorbed 4‐Aminopyridine were examined using DFT/B3LYP/6‐31G*/LANL2DZ …

Silicene, the Si analogue of graphene, has recently extended the short list of existing two-
dimensional (2D) atomic crystals. There are many remarkable electrical properties as well …
