Abstract
Transverse electric (TE) surface wave in silicine is theoretically investigated. The TE surface wave in silicene is found to exhibit better characteristics compared with that in graphene, in terms of a broader frequency range and more confinement to the surface which originate from the buckled structure of silicene. We found that even undoped silicene can support the TE surface wave. We expect to obtain the similar characteristics of the TE surface wave in other two-dimensional materials that have slightly buckled honeycomb lattice.
