Flexural and acoustic phonon-drag thermopower and electron energy loss rate in silicene.

We have performed a comprehensive numerical and analytical examination of two crucial transport aspects in silicene: the phonon-drag thermopower,Sp, and the electron's energy loss rate,Fe. Specifically, our investigation is centered on their responses to out-of-plane flexural phonons and in-plane acoustic phonons in silicene, a two-dimensional allotrope of silicon as a function of electron temperature,T,and electron concentration,n,upto the room temperature. It is found that the calculated quantities have a non-monotonic dependence for the phonon modes for both parameters(T and n)considered while analytical results predict definite dependencies up to the complete low-temperature Bloch-Gruneisen (BG) regime.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the motion of surface-rolling nanomachines, which have potential applications in nanotransportation systems by carrying molecular payloads on surfaces.
- Using molecular dynamics simulations, researchers observed that carbon-based nanovehicles face higher energy barriers and lower movement efficiency on silicene compared to other materials like graphene.
- They introduced a nanoroad structure to limit the motion of these nanomachines and found that applying a thermal gradient helps direct their movement towards lower energy regions for better controllability.
First designing of a silicene-based optical MOSFET with outstanding performance.

Miniaturized integrated optical devices with low power consumption have long been considered hot candidates for plasmonic applications. While 2D materials such as graphene have been proposed for this purpose, they suffer from large propagation loss and low controllability at room temperature. Here, a silicene-based optical MOSFET with excellent performance is designed to achieve integrated circuit optical technology.

Transition metal-free magnetism and two-dimensional p-state half-metals have been a fascinating subject of research due to their potential applications in nanoelectronics and spintronics. By applying density functional theory calculations, we predict that bilayer silicene can be an interlayer antiferromagnetic ground state. Interestingly, the half-metallicity is realized by adsorbing non-magnetic atoms on the antiferromagnetic bilayer silicene in the absence of transition magnetic atoms, nanoribbons, ferromagnetic substrates and magnetic field.
