Tunable Band Gap and Doping Type in Silicene by Surface Adsorption: towards Tunneling Transistors

Zeyuan Ni, Hongxia Zhong, Xinhe Jiang +4

Structural and electronic properties of silicene adsorbed by five kinds of transition metal atoms (Cu, Ag, Au, Pt, and Ir) are systematically studied by using first-principles calc…
