Can silicon behave like graphene? A first-principles study
Abstract
The electronic properties of two-dimensional hexagonal silicon (silicene) are investigated using first-principles simulations. Though silicene is predicted to be a gapless semiconductor, due to the sp2-hybridization of its atomic orbitals, the weak overlapping between 3pz orbitals of neighbor Si atoms leads to a very reactive surface, resulting in a more energetically stable semiconducting surface upon the adsorption of foreign chemical species. It is predicted that silicene inserted into a graphitelike lattice, like ultrathin AlN stacks, preserves its sp2-hydridization, and hence its graphenelike electronic properties.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
