(inorganic chemistry) An allotrope of germanium that has a hexagonal, planar structure analogous to graphene.
Calculating the complex dielectric function for optical interband transitions we show that the two-dimensional crystals silicene and germanene possess the same low-frequency absorbance as graphene.
After the successful synthesis of silicene in 2012, which was followed by a surge of studies on elemental, novel two-dimensional (2D) materials beyond graphene, a daunting quest was to obtain germanene, the germanium-based analogue of graphene, already predicted to possibly exist in 2009.
We present first-principles studies of the optical absorbance of the group IV honeycomb crystals graphene, silicene, germanene, and tinene.
Use germanene when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
Germanene means (inorganic chemistry) An allotrope of germanium that has a hexagonal, planar structure analogous to graphene.
The closest synonym depends on the sentence and intended sense.
The opposite depends on the specific sense.
Calculating the complex dielectric function for optical interband transitions we show that the two-dimensional crystals silicene and germanene possess the same low-frequency absorbance as graphene.
