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.

TL;DR: It is shown that few layer germanene, which is created by dry epitaxy on a gold template, possesses Dirac cones thanks to a reduced interaction, and this finding established on synchrotron-radiation-based photoemission, scanning tunneling microscopy imaging and surface electron diffraction places few layergermanene among the rare two-dimensional Dirac materials.

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.

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.

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.
