Atomic and electronic structure of the $\sqrt{3}$$\times$$\sqrt{3}$ silicene phase on Ag(111): density-functional calculations

Se Gab Kwon, Myung Ho Kang

Density-functional theory calculations are used to verify the atomic structure of the $\sqrt{3}$$\times$$\sqrt{3}$ silicene phase grown on the Ag(111) surface. Recent experimental…
