Summary: | We investigated the property of a honeycomb structure Si(silicon) using density <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
functional theory (DFT). The PHASE code with generalized gradient approximation <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
(GGA) and local density approximation (LDA) were used in these calculations. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We found that silicene has three kind of stable structure: planar (PL), low buckled <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
(LB), and high buckled (HB). The low buckling is the most stable one among those. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Similar to graphene, silicene shows the lack of band gap energy in density of state <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
(DOS) and the linearity in band dispersion. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hydrogen atoms were absorbed on silicene PL surface, LB surface, CP (criticalpoint) <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
surface and HB surface. Our results showed that the stability of the structure <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
depends on the initial position of hydrogen. PL and LB structure are more easily <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
hydrogenated than CP as well as HB structure. It also showed that LB and HB structure <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
are reversible either physically or electronically against hydrogenated while PL <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
and CP are not. The electronic band structure reveals that silicene in its 50% hydrogenated <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
behaves as metal and in its 100% hydrogenated behaves as semiconductor. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We also performed the Nose-Hoover thermostat temperature control of Molecular <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dynamics (MD) simulation for some temperature point. At 800 K, we found one <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
broken hydrogen-silicon bonding whereas none of broken silicon-silicon bondings. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Like bulk silicon, we noticed that silicene does not exist any longer at 1600 K. |
