Structural and electronic properties of germanene/MoS2 monolayer and silicene/MoS2 monolayer superlattices
Superlattice provides a new approach to enrich the class of materials with novel properties. Here, we report the structural and electronic properties of superlattices made with alternate stacking of two-dimensional hexagonal germanene (or silicene) and a MoS2 monolayer using the first principles approach. The results are compared with those of graphene/MoS2 superlattice. The distortions of the ...
متن کاملStability and Electronic Properties of Two-Dimensional Silicene and Germanene on Graphene CHIH-PIAO CHUU,
Submitted for the MAR14 Meeting of The American Physical Society Stability and Electronic Properties of Two-Dimensional Silicene and Germanene on Graphene CHIH-PIAO CHUU, YONGMAO CAI, C.-M. WEI, M.-Y. CHOU, Academia Sinica — Recently, there have been experimental attempts to synthesize silicene, a two-dimensional (2D) graphene-like form of silicon on metal surfaces such as Ag(111) and Ir(0001)....
متن کاملFew layer epitaxial germanene: a novel two-dimensional Dirac material
Monolayer germanene, a novel graphene-like germanium allotrope akin to silicene has been recently grown on metallic substrates. Lying directly on the metal surfaces the reconstructed atom-thin sheets are prone to lose the massless Dirac fermion character and unique associated physical properties of free standing germanene. Here, we show that few layer germanene, which we create by dry epitaxy o...
متن کاملAn atlas of two-dimensional materials.
The discovery of graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials together with recent advances in exfoliation techniques have set the foundations for the manufacturing of single layered sheets from any layered 3D material. The family of 2D materials encompasses a wide selection of compositions including almost all the elements of the periodic table. This derives into a rich variety of electro...
متن کاملIntrinsic magnetism and spontaneous band gap opening in bilayer silicene and germanene.
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 germanene with no need to cut, etch, or dope. Unlike bilayer graphene, strong covalent interlayer bonding formed in bilayer silicene and germanene breaks the original π-bonding network of each layer, leaving the unb...
