“…Xenes have been grown on various crystal surfaces. Germanene has been grown on Ag(111), [ 11 ] Au(111), [ 2,12 ] Cu(111), [ 13 ] Al(111), [ 14 ] Pt(111), [ 15 ] graphite, [ 16 ] and MoS 2 , [ 17 ] and silicene has been grown on Ag(111), [ 1a,b ] Ag(110), [ 18 ] Al(111), [ 19 ] Ir(111), [ 20 ] ZrB 2 (0001), [ 21 ] and ZrC(111). [ 22 ] A limited number of reports of stanene growth on Ag(111) [ 3b ] and Cu(111), [ 3a ] as well as one report of plumbene growth on a Pd 1− x Pb x (111) alloy film on Pd(111), [ 4a ] are available.…”
