Quantum Simulation of the Silicene and Germanene for Sensing and Sequencing of DNA/RNA Nucleobases.

Over the last decade, we have been witnessing the rise of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Several 2D materials with outstanding properties have been theoretically predicted and experimentally synthesized. 2D materials are good candidates for sensing and detecting various biomolecules because of their extraordinary properties, such as a high surface-to-volume ratio.
