“…In experiment, silicene has been successfully fabricated via epitaxial growth on the Ag(111), 5,9,16,19,20 ZrB 2 (0001), 10 ZrC(111), 27 Ir(111), 25 and MoS 2 surfaces 28 and the silicene field effect transistor (FET) operating at room temperature has also been realized very recently. 32 In theory, many interesting phenomena in silicene, such as the phase transition from a quantum spin-Hall state to a trivial insulating state 7,13,14,[21][22][23]26 , the intrinsic spin-Hall and valley-Hall effects induced by ac and dc electric field 23,26,31 , etc. have been predicted.…”
