Why buckled silicene has an acoustic-optical gap in phonon dispersion?

01 January 2017 0 4K Report

Why buckled silicene has an acoustic-optical gap in phonon dispersion while planar graphene does not? Is this related to the crystal structure? Is there any analytical model for it? Thanks a lot!!

How can i calculate the band alignmet of Sc2CO2/BlueP heterostructure from DFT?

I know the work function and band gap of each monolayer and heterostructure. I calculated mulliken electronegativity(X) of Sc2CO2 and Bluep. From that i found Ev = X- 4.5+Eg Ec = Ev-Eg, where Eg...
