By using first-principles calculations, we systematically investigated several observed phases of silicene on Ag(111) substrates and their electronic structures. We find that the original Dirac cone of silicene is about 1.5-1.7 eV deeply…
In the case of graphene, hydrogenation removes the conductivity due to the bands forming the Dirac cone by opening up a band gap. This type of chemical functionalization is of utmost importance for electronic applications. As predicted by…
The discovery of (4x4) silicene formation on Ag(111) raised the question on whether silicene maintains its Dirac fermion character, similar to graphene, on a supporting substrate. Previous photoemission studies indicated that the {\pi}-band…
Epitaxial silicene, which is one single layer of silicon atoms packed in a honeycomb structure, demonstrates a strong interaction with the substrate that dramatically affects its electronic structure. The role of electronic coupling in the…
