Abstract: Silicon is one of the most frequently used chemical elements of the periodic table in nanotechnology. Two-dimensional (2D) silicene, a silicon analog of graphene, has been readily obtained to make field-effect transistors since 2015. Recently,… read more here.

Abstract: The current carried by a material subject to an electric field is microscopically inhomogeneous and can be modelled using scattering theory, in which electrons undergo collisions with the microscopic objects they encounter. We herein present… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Atomic structure, thermodynamic and mechanical behaviours of the penta-silicene (p-silicene) obtained by cooling from the melt are studied by the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We find that p-silicene can ‘naturally’ form from the liquid… read more here.
