Silicene: from monolayer to multilayer — A concise review

Li Hui†, Hui-Xia Fu, Meng Sheng

(a) STM image (40 nm×40 nm) of SLS surface containing an island of BLS, taken at tip bias –1.0 V. (b) d I /d V map of the same area as panel (a), taken at tip bias of 0.5 V. (c) Energy dispersion as a function of κ for silicene, determined from the wavelength of QPI patterns. (d) LDOS on SLS as a function of distance from armchair edges at –0.5 V. The position of step edge is set at x = 0. Gray dots, experimental values; red lines, fits to the data.^{[ 9 , 21 ]}
