From Silicene to Half-Silicane by Hydrogenation
From Silicene to Half-Silicane by Hydrogenation
Graphane is graphene fully hydrogenated from both sides, forming a 1×1 structure, where all C atoms are in sp(3) configuration. In silicene, the Si atoms are in a mixed sp(2)/sp(3) configuration; it is therefore natural to imagine a silicane structure analogous to graphane. However, a monatomic silicene sheet grown on …
