Abstract:Borophene, the lightest member of mono-elemental 2D materials family, has attracted much attention due to its intriguing polymorphism. Among many polymorphs, digitally discovered 8-Pmmn stands out owing to its unique tilted-Dirac fermions. However, the property of interfaces between 8-Pmmn and metal substrates has so far remained unexplored, which has critical importance of its application in any electronic devices. Here, with the help of density functional theory, we show that the unique tilted-Dirac property… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
