1.2.2. Nanoelectronics and Nanosensors for Army Applications: Hexagonal Atomic Sheets of Silicon (Silicene); Towards Heterogeneous Layered Solids

Abstract

This research effort focused on pioneering epitaxial synthesis of silicene based on innovative growth approaches and systematic elucidation of the growth kinetics. In addition, fabricated silicene devices was experimentally investigated for the first time in order to shed light on the electronic properties and device physics. The proposed research is organized into three central tasks to address the most pressing challenges facing silicene research.
