Formation energies of Si N clusters in vacuum and on Ag (111) surface: (a) freestanding Si N clusters with ground state configurations in vacuum (GS–Si N ); (b) direct deposition of GS–Si N clusters on Ag (111) surface (GS–Si N –Ag); (c) 2D silicene-like clusters on Ag (111) surface (2D-Si N –Ag).[ 28 ]
