Silica or SiO$_2$, the main constituent of earths rocks has several 3D complex crystalline and amorphous phases, but it does not have a graphite like layered structure in 3D. Our theoretical analysis and numerical calculations from the first-principles predict a single-layer honeycomb like allotrope, h$alpha$-silica, which can be viewed to be derived from the oxidation of silicene and it has intriguing atomic structure with re-entrant bond angles in hexagons. It is a wide band gap semiconductor, which attains remarkable electromechanical properties showing geometrical changes under external electric field. In particular, it is an auxetic metamaterial with negative Poissons ratio and has a high piezoelectric coefficient. While it can form stable bilayer and multilayer structures, its nanoribbons can show metallic or semiconducting behavior depending on their chirality. Coverage of dangling Si orbitals by foreign adatoms can attribute new functionalities to h$alpha$-silica. In particular, Si$_2$O$_5$, where Si atoms are saturated by oxygen atoms from top and bottom sides alternatingly can undergo a structural transformation to make silicatene, another stable, single layer structure of silica.

In this report we have pointed out that magnetic hysteresis loop can be used as a probe to distinguish a single layer from a many layer graphitic structure. Chemically we have synthesized graphitic oxide (GO) and reduced graphitic oxide (RGO) for thi
s investigation. We observe ferromagnetic like hysteresis loops for both GO and RGO below a certain applied critical magnetic field and above this critical field we observe cross-over of the positive magnetization to negative magnetization leading to diamagnetic behaviour. This cross-over is more dominant for the case of many layer graphitic structure. Upon annealing of GO in air the critical cross-over field decreases and the magnetization increases for multilayer graphitic structure. Possible reasons for all these observations and phenomena is presented here.
The collective excitation spectrum of two-dimensional (2D) antimonene is calculated beyond the low energy continuum approximation. The dynamical polarizability is computed using a 6-orbitals tight-binding model that properly accounts for the band str
ucture of antimonene in a broad energy range. Electron-electron interaction is considered within the random phase approximation. The obtained spectrum is rich, containing the standard intra-band 2D plasmon and a set of single inter-band modes. We find that spin-orbit interaction plays a fundamental role in the reconstruction of the excitation spectrum, with the emergence of novel inter-band branches in the continuum that interact with the plasmon.
Single layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are excellent candidates for electronic applications beyond the graphene platform; many of them exhibit novel properties including charge density waves (CDWs) and magnetic ordering. CDWs in th
ese single layers are generally a planar projection of the corresponding bulk CDWs because of the quasi-two-dimensional nature of TMDCs; a different CDW symmetry is unexpected. We report herein the successful creation of pristine single-layer VSe$_2$, which shows a ($sqrt7 times sqrt3$) CDW in contrast to the (4 $times$ 4) CDW for the layers in bulk VSe$_2$. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) from the single layer shows a sizable ($sqrt7 times sqrt3$) CDW gap of $sim$100 meV at the zone boundary, a 220 K CDW transition temperature twice the bulk value, and no ferromagnetic exchange splitting as predicted by theory. This robust CDW with an exotic broken symmetry as the ground state is explained via a first-principles analysis. The results illustrate a unique CDW phenomenon in the two-dimensional limit.
We detect electroluminescence in single layer molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) field-effect transistors built on transparent glass substrates. By comparing absorption, photoluminescence, and electroluminescence of the same MoS2 layer, we find that they a
ll involve the same excited state at 1.8eV. The electroluminescence has pronounced threshold behavior and is localized at the contacts. The results show that single layer MoS2, a direct band gap semiconductor, is promising for novel optoelectronic devices, such as 2-dimensional light detectors and emitters.
Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of single-layer MoS2 mechanical resonators. The fabricated resonators have fundamental resonance frequencies in the order of 10 MHz to 30 MHz (depending on their geometry) and their quality factor is about ~55 at
room temperature in vacuum. The dynamical properties clearly indicate that monolayer MoS2 membranes are in the membrane limit (i.e., tension dominated), in contrast to their thicker counterparts, which behave as plates. We also demonstrate clear signatures of nonlinear behaviour of our atomically thin membranes, thus providing a starting point for future investigations on the nonlinear dynamics of monolayer nanomechanical resonators.
