Germanene and stanene are two-dimensional allotropes of group - IV substrates which have recently attracted a vast attention in nanostructure device fabrication purpose. Stanene and germanene are ...

To induce the chiral behavior in a conventional superconductor, the researchers created a chiral molecular layer and a layered structure with 2D material tantalum disulfide (TaS2). This study ...

Stanene, a single layer of tin atoms with a buckling honeycomb structure, is a promising quantum spin Hall insulator. Its unique properties and potential for 100 % electrical efficiency make it ...

The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) quantum materials marks a significant breakthrough in materials science, largely because of their unique structure, which is one or few atoms thick, allowing them ...

The substrate-induced effects on the polarizability (α) and first dipole hyperpolarizability (β) of group-IV (i.e., graphene, silicene, germanene, stanene) and group-V (i.e., phosphorene, arsenene, ...

Stanene structure has a honeycomb lattice and out-of-plane buckling, allowing it to be employed as a sensing channel in an electronic device and allowing for charge and bandgap modulation. We have ...

Adding fluorine atoms (yellow) to a single layer of tin atoms (gray) should allow a predicted new material, stanene, to conduct electricity perfectly along its edges (blue and red arrows) at ...

Scientists are discovering that stacked layers of atomically thin 2D materials can open up a whole new world of fascinating and useful properties.

Graphene is a layer of carbon atoms, bound together in a simple hexagonal structure. Carbon was already well-known for forming a fascinating array of chemical bonds; allotropes and fullerenes ...

Stanene has the characteristic hexagonal structure associated with 2D materials, consisting of atoms of tin.

Grey tin: when one layer makes all the difference 02 Feb 2018 Bence Börcsök Structure of stanene Superconductivity – when a material has zero electrical resistance, therefore zero energy loss, at low ...
