Growth mechanism and modification of electronic and magnetic properties of silicene

Electronic band structures of (a) silicene, (b) silicene/BN, (c) silicene/Si–SiC, (d) silicene/C–SiC and partial charge densities of (e) silicene (f) silicene/BN, (g) silicene/Si–SiC, (h) silicene/C–SiC. The red lines highlight the π -bands of silicene in different configurations. The partial charge densities are in an energy range from E F∼ E F to 0.2 eV. The Fermi level is set to be zero. The enlarged view of the band lines at K point near the Fermi level is presented in the inset.[ 89 ]
