Zank, Huntsville, USA [email protected] The Lecture Notes in Physics The series Lecture Notes in Physics (LNP), founded in 1969, reports new devel- opments in physics research and teaching-quickly and informally, but with a high quality and the explicit aim to summarize and communicate current knowledge in an accessible way. Books published in this series are conceived as bridging material between advanced graduate textbooks and the forefront of research and to serve three purposes: • to be a compact and modern up-to-date source of reference on a well-defined topic • to serve as an accessible introduction to the field to postgraduate students and nonspecialist researchers from related areas • to be a source of advanced teaching material for specialized seminars, courses and schools Both monographs and multi-author volumes will be considered for publication. Edited volumes should, however, consist of a very limited number of contributions only. Proceedings will not be considered for LNP. Volumes published in LNP are disseminated both in print and in electronic for- mats, the electronic archive being available at springerlink.com. The series content is indexed, abstracted and referenced by many abstracting and information services, bibliographic networks, subscription agencies, library networks, and consortia. Proposals should be sent to a member of the Editorial Board, or directly to the managing editor at Springer: Christian Caron Springer Heidelberg Physics Editorial Department I Tiergartenstrasse 17 69121 Heidelberg/Germany [email protected] More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/5304 [email protected] Seymur Cahangirov • Hasan Sahin • Guy Le Lay • Angel Rubio Introduction to the Physics of Silicene and other 2D Materials 123 [email protected] Seymur Cahangirov Hasan Sahin University of the Basque Country Department of Photonics Materials Unit Joint Center Izmir Institute of Technology Donostia, Spain Izmir, Turkey Guy Le Lay Angel Rubio Aix Marseille Université CNRS Basque Country Marseille Cedex, France Materials Unit Joint Center Donostia, Spain ISSN 0075-8450 ISSN 1616-6361 (electronic) Lecture Notes in Physics ISBN 978-3-319-46570-8 ISBN 978-3-319-46572-2 (eBook) DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-46572-2 Library of Congress Control Number: 2016957791 © Springer International Publishing AG 2017 This work is subject to copyright.

Especially after the experimental synthesis of silicene on substrates in 2012 has attracted substantial interest from both theoretical and experimental community. Every day, new people from various disciplines join this rapidly growing field. The aim of this book is to serve as a fast entry to the field these newcomers and as a long-living reference to the growing community. To achieve this goal, the book is designed to emphasize the most crucial developments from both theoretical and experimental points of view since the start of the silicene field with the first theoretical paper proposing the structure of silicene. We provide the general concepts and ideas such that the book is accessible to everybody from graduate students to senior researchers and we refer the reader interested in the details to the relevant literature. In the next paragraphs, we present a brief history of silicene where we highlight,
