To date, germanene has only been synthesized on metallic substrates. A metallic substrate is usually detrimental for the two-dimensional Dirac nature of germanene because the important electronic states near the Fermi level of germanene can hybridize with the electronic states of the metallic substrate. Here we report the successful synthesis of germanene on molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$), a band gap material. Pre-existing defects in the MoS$_2$ surface act as preferential nucleation sites for the germanene islands. The lattice constant of the germanene layer (3.8 $pm$ 0.2 AA) is about 20% larger than the lattice constant of the MoS$_2$ substrate (3.16 AA). Scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements and density functional theory calculations reveal that there are, besides the linearly dispersing bands at the $K$ points, two parabolic bands that cross the Fermi level at the $Gamma$ point.

We combined the bond order length strength and bond charge models and the topological concept to obtain the nonbonding, bonding, and antibonding states of the T type WTe$_2$/MoS$_2$ heterostructure.The energy band projection method and electronic inf
ormation entropy are remarkable approaches for analyzing the electronic properties of various structures based on DFT calculations. This study provides a new way to describe the electronic properties of T type heterostructures and calculate the electron and bonding state probabilities.
In this paper, we have done a comparative study of electronic and magnetic properties of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) and cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) molecules physisorbed on monolayer of MoS$_2$ and graphene by using density functional theory. Variou
s different types of physisorption sites have been considered for both surfaces. Our calculations reveal that the $M$Pc molecules prefer the S-top position on MoS$_2$. However, on graphene, FePc molecule prefers the bridge position while CoPc molecule prefers the top position. The $M$Pc molecules are physisorbed strongly on the MoS$_2$ surface than the graphene ($sim$ 2.5 eV higher physisorption energy). Analysis of magnetic properties indicates the presence of strong spin dipole moment opposite to the spin moment and hence a huge reduction of effective spin moment can be observed. Our calculations of magnetic anisotropy energies using both variational approach and $2^{nd}$ order perturbation approach indicate no significant changes after physisorption. In case of FePc, an out-of-plane easy axis and in case of CoPc, an in-plane easy axis can be seen. Calculations of work function indicate a reduction of MoS$_2$ work function $sim$ 1 eV due to physisorption of $M$Pc molecules while it does not change significantly in case of graphene.
The presence in the graphyne sheets of a variable amount of sp2/sp1 atoms, which can be transformed into sp3-like atoms by covalent binding with one or two fluorine atoms, respectively, allows one to assume the formation of fulorinated graphynes (flu
orographynes) with variable F/C stoichiometry. Here, employing DFT band structure calculations, we examine a series of fluorographynes, and the trends in their stability, structural and electronic properties have been discussed as depending on their stoichiometry: from C2F3 (F/C= 1.5) to C4F7 (F/C= 1.75).
Using ab initio calculations, we study the electronic and structural properties of vacancies and hydrogen adsorbates on trilayer graphene. Those defects are found to share similar low-energy electronic features, since they both remove a pz electron f
rom the honeycomb lattice and induce a defect level near the Fermi energy. However, a vacancy also leaves unpaired $sigma $ electrons on the lattice, which lead to important structural differences and also contribute to magnetism. We explore both ABA and ABC stackings and compare properties such as formation energies, magnetic moments, spin density and the local density of states (LDOS) of the defect levels. These properties show a strong sensitivity to the layer in which the defect is placed and smaller sensitivities to sublattice placing and stacking type. Finally, for the ABC trilayer, we also study how these states behave in the presence of an external field, which opens a tunable gap in the band structure of the non-defective system. The pz defect states show a strong hybridization with band states as the field increases, with reduction and eventually loss of magnetization, and a non-magnetic, midgap-like state is found when the defect is at the middle layer.
We report the structural, transport, electronic, and magnetic properties of Co$_2$FeGa Heusler alloy nanoparticles. The Rietveld refinements of x-ray diffraction (XRD) data with the space group Fm$bar {3}$m clearly demonstrates that the nanoparticles
are of single phase. The particle size (D) decreases with increasing the SiO$_2$ concentration. The Bragg peak positions and the inter-planer spacing extracted from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy image and selected area electron diffraction are in well agreement with data obtained from XRD. The coercivity initially increases from 127~Oe to 208~Oe between D = 8.5~nm and 12.5~nm, following the D$^{-3/2}$ dependence and then decreases with further increasing D up to 21.5~nm with a D$^{-1}$ dependence, indicating the transition from single domain to multidomain regime. The effective magnetic anisotropic constant behaves similarly as coercivity, which confirms this transition. A complex scattering mechanisms have been fitted to explain the electronic transport properties of these nanoparticles. In addition we have studied core-level and valence band spectra using photoemission spectroscopy, which confirm the hybridization between $d$ states of Co/Fe. Further nanoparticle samples synthesized by co-precipitation method show higher saturation magnetization. The presence of Raman active modes can be associated with the high chemical ordering, which motivates for detailed temperature dependent structural investigation using synchrotron radiation and neutron sources.
