Resolving the structure of the striped Ge layer on Ag(111): AgGe surface alloy with alternate fcc and hcp domains
K. Zhang, D. Sciacca, A. Coati +8
Two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattices beyond graphene, such as germanene, promise new physical properties such as quantum spin Hall effect. While there have been many claims of g…

Structure of germanene/Al(111): a two-layers surface alloy
K. Zhang, D. Sciacca, M. -C. Hanf +12
Unlike silicene, for which the demonstration of its existence has been done through numerous independent studies, the possibility of growing epitaxial germanene remains highly cont…
