Journal ArticleDOI
Germanene: a novel two-dimensional germanium allotrope akin to graphene and silicene
TL;DR: In this article, an atom-thin, ordered, two-dimensional multi-phase film was grown in situ through germanium molecular beam epitaxy using a gold surface as a substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physics and electronics of the noble-metal/elemental-semiconductor interface formation: a status report
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic overview of the characteristics of the formation of the noble-metal/elemental-semiconductor interface is given, including growth mechanisms, the structural and energetic properties of the different phases, and the interaction of these interfaces with oxygen is also analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the discovery of silicene in the form of silicon nano-ribbons epitaxially grown on silver (1 1 0) or (1 0 0) surfaces, which paves the way for the growth of graphene-like sheets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physics of Silicene Stripes
Abdelkader Kara,C. Leandri,María E. Dávila,P. De Padova,B. Ealet,Hamid Oughaddou,Bernard Aufray,G. Le Lay +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the epitaxial growth of silicene stripes self-aligned in a massively parallel array on the anisotropic silver (110) surface is revealed, revealing a hint of superconductivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a self-assembled array of highly perfect Si nanowires provided a simple, atomically precise, novel template that may impact a wide range of applications, and demonstrated that in the large ensemble each individual nanowire is a well-defined quantum object comprising only two distinct silicon atomic environments.
