Experimental realization of graphene-like borophene
Wenbin Li, Longjuan Kong, Caiyun Chen +7
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…
Direct evidences of pentagonal silicon chains and magic clusters
Shaoxiang Sheng, Runze Ma, Jiangbin Wu +11
Pentagon is one of the most beautiful geometric structures in nature, but it is rarely seen simply because five-fold symmetry is mathematically forbidden in a 2D or 3D periodic lat…
Realization of Flat Band with Possible Nontrivial Topology in Electronic Kagome Lattice
Zhi Li, Jincheng Zhuang, Lan Chen +9
The energy dispersion of fermions or bosons vanishes in momentum space if destructive quantum interference occurs in a frustrated Kagome lattice with only nearest-neighbour (NN) ho…
Strain-Induced Band Engineering in Monolayer Stanene on Sb(111)
Jian Gou, Longjuan Kong, Hui Li +5
Two-dimensional (2D) allotrope of tin with low buckled honeycomb structure, named as stanene, is proposed to be an ideal 2D topological insulator with a nontrivial gap larger than…
Dirac fermions in borophene
Baojie Feng, Osamu Sugino, Ro-Ya Liu +14
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 a…
