Magnetic and optical properties of carbon and silicon decorated free standing buckled germanene: A DFT approach

Insights into the physical properties of a new 211 MAX phase Nb2CuC

“…The spectral features for both functionals are practically similar. It is worth mentioning that the static absorption coefficient (0) shows a universal non-zero value for studied MAX phases as for other hexagonal systems [105].…”

Graphene-like emerging 2D materials: recent progress, challenges and future outlook

“…Semimetallic germanene has been shown to change into direct and indirect bandgap semiconductors by decoration with particular foreign elements (C, Si), and the bandgap values can be tuned from 26 meV to 287 meV, which may be used to create nanoelectronic tuning devices. 86 Keep in mind that group IV elements like graphene and silicene are not magnetic by nature, and neither is bare or pristine germanene. Interestingly, a pronounced magnetic moment of magnitude 4.04 μ B is noted for one of these C-decorated systems.…”
