Coexistence of strongly buckled germanene phases on Al(111)
We report a study of structural and electronic properties of a germanium layer on Al(111) using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low energy electron diffraction and core-level photoelectron spectroscopy. Experimental results show that a germanium layer can be formed at a relatively high substrate temperature showing either (3×3) or (√7×√7)R±19.1° reconstructions. First-principles calculatio...
متن کاملCoulomb excitations of monolayer germanene
The feature-rich electronic excitations of monolayer germanene lie in the significant spin-orbit coupling and the buckled structure. The collective and single-particle excitations are diversified by the magnitude and direction of transferred momentum, the Fermi energy and the gate voltage. There are four kinds of plasmon modes, according to the unique frequency- and momentum-dependent phase dia...
متن کاملGermanene: the germanium analogue of graphene.
Recently, several research groups have reported the growth of germanene, a new member of the graphene family. Germanene is in many aspects very similar to graphene, but in contrast to the planar graphene lattice, the germanene honeycomb lattice is buckled and composed of two vertically displaced sub-lattices. Density functional theory calculations have revealed that free-standing germanene is a...
متن کاملNew perspectives on intermediate phases
Disordered networks of covalent, ionic and H-bonded solids acquire unusual functionalities in intermediate phases (IPs), which form in a narrow but well defined range of connectivity. Their chemical bonds apparently self-organize, i.e., globally adapt through reconnecting so as to expel stress and lower their free energy. IPs are now classified as marginally rigid structures and usually are mad...
متن کاملFloquet edge states in germanene nanoribbons
We theoretically demonstrate versatile electronic properties of germanene monolayers under circularly, linearly, and elliptically polarized light. We show for the high frequency regime that the edge states can be controlled by tuning the amplitude of the light and by applying a static electric field. For circularly polarized light the band gap in one valley is reduced and in the other enhanced,...
