Catalysed by the success of mechanical exfoliated free-standing graphene, two dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials are successively an active area of research. Silicene is a monolayer of silicon (Si) atoms with a low-buckled honeycomb lattice possessing a Dirac cone and massless fermions in the band structure. Another advantage of silicene is its compatibility with the Silicon wafer fabrication technology. To effectively apply this 2D material in the semiconductor industry, it is important to carry out theoretical studies before proceeding to the next step. In this paper, an overview of silicene and silicene nanoribbons (SiNRs) is described. After that, the theoretical studies to engineer the bandgap of silicene are reviewed. Recent theoretical advancement on the applications of silicene for various field-effect transistor (FET) structures is also discussed. Theoretical studies of silicene have shown promising results for their application as FETs and the efforts to study the performance of bandgap-engineered silicene FET should continue to improve the device performance.

AbstractFlat band electronic states are proposed to be a fundamental tool to achieve various quantum states of matter at higher temperatures due to the enhanced electronic correlations. However, materials with such peculiar electronic states are rare and often rely on subtle properties of the band structures. Here, by using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we show the emergent flat band in a VSe2 / Bi2Se3 heterostructure. Our photoemission study demonstrates that the flat band covers the entire Brillouin zone and exhibits 2D nature with a complex circular dichroism. In addition, the Dirac cone of Bi2Se3 is not reshaped by the flat band even though they overlap in proximity of the Dirac point. These features make this flat band distinguishable from the ones previously found. Thereby, the observation of a flat band in the VSe2 / Bi2Se3 heterostructure opens a promising pathway to realize strongly correlated quantum effects in topological materials.

Using first-principles calculation we investigated the structural, electronic and elastic properties of paramagnetic CaFeAs2. Our results indicated that the density of states (DOS) was dominated predominantly by Fe-3[Formula: see text] states at Fermi levels, and stronger hybridization exists between As1 and As1 atoms. Three hole pockets are formed at [Formula: see text] and Z points, and two electronic pockets are formed at A and E points. The Dirac cone-like bands appear near B and D points. For the first time we calculated the elastic properties and found that CaFeAs2 is a mechanically stable and moderately hard material, it has elastic anisotropy and brittleness, which agrees well with the bonding picture and the calculation of Debye temperature ([Formula: see text]).
