Recently, a honeycomb borophene was reported to grow successfully on Al(111) surface. Since the metallic $\sigma$-bonding bands of honeycomb boron sheet play a crucial role in the 39 K superconductivity of MgB$_2$, it is physically…
We report a successful preparation of a purely honeycomb, graphene-like borophene, by using an Al(111) surface as the substrate and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth in ultrahigh vacuum. Our scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) reveals…
Borophene (two-dimensional boron sheet) is a new type of two-dimensional material, which was recently grown successfully on single crystal Ag substrates. In this paper, we investigate the electronic structure and bonding characteristics of…
Charge transfer from a metal substrate stabilizes honeycomb borophene, whose electron deficit would otherwise spoil the hexagonal order of a $\pi$-bonded 2D atomic network. However, the coupling between the substrate and the boron overlayer…
We study the effect of electron doping on the bonding character and stability of two-dimensional (2D) structures of elemental boron, called borophene, which is known to form many stable allotropes. Our {\em ab initio} calculations for the…
Superconductivity in two-dimensional compounds is widely concerned, not only due to its application in constructing nano-superconducting devices, but also for the general scientific interests. Very recently, borophene (two-dimensional boron…
Borophene is a two-dimensional material made out of boron atoms only. It exhibits polymorphism and different allotropes can be studied in terms of a rigid electronic structure, where only the occupation of the states change with the respect…
Two-dimensional (2D) structures of boron atoms so called borophene, have recently attracted remarkable attention. In a latest exciting experimental study, a hydrogenated borophene structure was realized. Motivated by this success, we…
The search for topological semimetals is mainly focused on heavy-element compounds as following the footsteps of previous research on topological insulators, with less attention on light-element materials. However, the negligible spin orbit…
Recently synthesized two-dimensional (2D) boron, borophene, exhibits a novel metallic behavior rooted in the s-p orbital hybridization, distinctively different from other 2D materials such as sulfides/selenides and semi-metallic graphene.…
Honeycomb structures of group IV elements can host massless Dirac fermions with non-trivial Berry phases. Their potential for electronic applications has attracted great interest and spurred a broad search for new Dirac materials especially…
Elementary semiconductors are rare and attractive, especially for low-dimensional materials. Unfortunately, most of boron nanostructures were found to be metallic, despite of their typical semiconducting bulk structure. Herein, we propose a…
Borophene, the boron atom analogue to graphene, being atomic thick have been just recently experimentally fabricated. In this work, we employ first-principles density functional theory calculations to investigate the interaction of Ca, Mg,…
This paper presents a systematic study of two and one dimensional honeycomb structure of boron nitride (BN) using first-principles plane wave method. Two-dimensional (2D) graphene like BN is a wide band gap semiconductor with ionic bonding.…
Two-dimensional boron monolayer (borophene) stands out from the two-dimensional atomic layered materials due to its structural flexibility, tunable electronic and mechanical properties from a large number of allotropic materials. The…
We introduce two-dimensional borane, a single-layered material of BH stoichiometry, with promising electronic properties. We show that, according to Density Functional Theory calculations, two-dimensional borane is semimetallic, with two…
We model the electronic properties of thin films of binary compounds with stacked layers where each layer is a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice with two atoms per unit cell. The two atoms per cell are assigned different onsite energies in…
We report a previously unknown monolayer borophene allotrope and we call it super-B with a flat structure based on the ab initio calculations. It has good thermal, dynamical, and mechanical stability compared with many other typical…
We carried out first-principles calculations within Density Functional Theory to investigate the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of boron-nitride (BN) honeycomb structure functionalized by adatom adsorption, as well as by the…
