Stability and electronic properties of atomic layers of GaN are investigated in the framework of the van der Waals-density functional theory. We find that the ground state of the layered GaN is a planar graphene-like configuration rather…

Crystallographic alignment between two-dimensional crystals in van der Waals heterostructures brought a number of profound physical phenomena, including observation of Hofstadter butterfly and topological currents, and promising novel…

We investigate the electronic band structure and the proximity exchange effect in bilayer graphene on a family of ferromagnetic multilayers Cr$_2$X$_2$Te$_6$, X=Ge, Si, and Sn, with first principles methods. In each case the intrinsic…

Small-twist-angle bilayer graphene supports strongly correlated insulating states and superconductivity. Twisted few-layer graphene systems are likely to open up new directions for strong correlation physics in moir\'e superlattices. We…

Free standing silicene is predicted to display comparable electronic properties as graphene. However, the yet synthesized silicene-like structures have been only realized on different substrates which turned out to exhibit versatile…

Band gap tuning and dielectric properties of small organic ligands adsorbed on tin monolayers (stanene) have been investigated using first-principles calculations. Charge density analysis using density-functional theory shows that the…

Half-metallicity in materials has been a subject of extensive research due to its potential for applications in spintronics. Ferromagnetic manganites have been seen as a good candidate, and aside from a small minority-spin pocket observed…

Very recently, field-effect transistors based on few-layer phosphorene crystals with thickness down to a few nanometres have been successfully fabricated, triggering interest in this new functional two-dimensional material. In this work, we…

Orbital degrees of freedom can have pronounced effects on the fundamental properties of electrons in solids. In addition to influencing bandwidths, gaps, correlation strength and dispersion, orbital effects have also been implicated in…

Tin Selenide (SnSe) is one of the best thermoelectric materials reported to date. The possibility of growing few-layer SnSe helped boost the interest in this long-known, earth abundant material. Pristine SnSe in bulk, mono- and few-layer…

Two-dimensional type-II topological semimetals (TSMs), characterized by strongly tilted Dirac cones, have attracted intense interest for their unconventional electronic properties and exotic transport behaviors. However, rational design…

Nanoscale twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) is quite instable and will change its structure to Bernal (or AB-stacking) bilayer with a much lower energy. Therefore, the lack of nanoscale TBG makes its electronic properties not accessible in…

We report the recent progress on the theoretical aspects of monolayer topological insulators including silicene, germanene and stanene, which are monolayer honeycomb structures of silicon, germanium and tin, respectively. They show quantum…

Elemental monolayers of the group 14 with a buckled honeycomb structure, namely silicene, germanene, stanene, and plumbene, are known to demonstrate a spin splitting as a result of an electric field parallel to their high symmetry axis…

We examine the structural properties of free standing II-VI and III-V semiconductors at the monolayer limit within first principle density functional theory calculations. A non-polar buckled structure was found to be favoured over a polar…

Here we study the evolution of local electronic properties of a twisted graphene bilayer induced by a strain and a high curvature. The strain and curvature strongly affect the local band structures of the twisted graphene bilayer; the…

Stanene has been predicted to be a two-dimensional topological insulator (2DTI). Its low-buckled atomic geometry and the enhanced spin-orbit coupling are expected to cause a prominent quantum spin hall (QSH) effect. However, most of the…

Marginally twisted bilayer graphene having small twist angles is predicted to exhibit unique structural and electronic properties, though experimental characterization remains limited. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we investigate…

The electronic structures and magnetic properties of strained monolayer MnPSe3 are investigated systematically by first-principles calculations. It is found that the magnetic ground state (GS) of monolayer MnPSe3 can be significantly…

The interplay of twist and strain in bilayer graphene enables the formation of moir\'e patterns and narrow bands that host correlated and topological phases. While magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene has been widely studied, strain…
