Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted tremendous research interest since the
breakthrough of graphene. Their unique optical, electronic, and mechanical properties hold …

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 …

The great success of graphene has encouraged the fast development of other two-
dimensional (2D) nanosheets, which have attracted extensive attention in different scientific …

We present density functional theory calculations of the phonon-limited mobility in n-type
monolayer graphene, silicene, and MoS 2. The material properties, including the electron …

Because of the zero-bandgap of group IV 2D materials such as graphene, silicene, and
germanene, 1, 2 it totally restricts their applications for channel and emission materials in …

The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of 3d transition metal (TM) atoms (Sc, Ti,
V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) adsorbed germanene are addressed using density …

Silicene monolayers grown on Ag (111) surfaces demonstrate a band gap that is tunable by
oxygen adatoms from semimetallic to semiconducting type. With the use of low-temperature …

The design of materials meeting the rigorous requirements of photocatalytic water splitting is
still a challenge. Anisotropic Janus 2D materials exhibit great potential due to outstandingly …

Silicene is a monolayer allotrope of silicon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure with
massless Dirac fermion characteristics similar to graphene. It merits development of silicon …

We present a first-principles study of effects of small biaxial strain (| ɛ|≤ 5%) and
perpendicular electric field (E-field) on the electronic and phonon properties of low-buckled …
