Borophene shows a robust metallic state against chemical functionalization and the presence of vacancies and exhibits a tunable high-value work-function.
Graphene band gap opening is achieved when integrated with C2N. C2N/graphene heterostructures are promising materials for FETs and water splitting.
The band gap increases with increasing tensile strain to its maximum value at 6% strain and then decreases.
The crystallized amino acid γ-glycine is a large band gap insulator that shows promise in the fields of photonics and non-linear optics.
