Unusual structural and electronic properties of porous silicene and germanene: insights from first-principles calculations

Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the geometric structures and electronic properties of porous silicene and germanene nanosheets, which are the Si and Ge analogues of α−graphyne (referred to as silicyne and germanyne). It is found that the elemental silicyne and germanyne sheets ar...
