Abstract:
The presentation will address recent developments related to elemental 2-D materials beyond graphene, with a focus on silicene, germanene, and arsenene. Several examples will be discussed in order to illustrate how computational theory based on first-principles calculations can contribute to the understanding of basic physical and chemical phenomena in 2-D condensed matter. Silicene is of particular interest due to its compatibility with established Si technology. Regrettably, strong interaction with common substrates eliminates the Dirac states. Alternative substrates will be analyzed and the effects on silicene will be evaluated with respect to technological requirements. Germanene attracts more and more attention because the effects of spin-orbit coupling are accessible in contrast to lighter 2-D materials. While the same is true for arsenene, the material's strongly buckled structure is not compatible with Dirac physics. Recovering the sp2 bonding, on the other hand, makes it possible to realize unusual properties.
