germanene en · NOUN

From germanium + -ene.

(uncountable) An allotrope of germanium that has a hexagonal, planar structure analogous to graphene
- After the successful synthesis of silicene in 2012, which was followed by a surge of studies on elemental, novel two-dimensional (2D) materials beyond graphene, a daunting quest was to obtain germanene, the germanium-based analogue of graphene, already predicted to possibly exist in 2009. 2014, M E Dávila, L Xian, S Cahangirov, A Rubio and G Le Lay, "Germanene: a novel two-dimensional germanium allotrope akin to graphene and silicene", New J. Phys. 16 095002 (9 September 2014) p. 095002-2
- We present first-principles studies of the optical absorbance of the group IV honeycomb crystals graphene, silicene, germanene, and tinene. 2013, Lars Matthes, Olivia Pulci, Friedhelm Bechstedt, “Massive Dirac quasiparticles in the optical absorbance of graphene, silicene, germanene, and tinene”, in Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 25 #39 (4 September 2013) 395305 p. 395305-1:
- Calculating the complex dielectric function for optical interband transitions we show that the two-dimensional crystals silicene and germanene possess the same low-frequency absorbance as graphene. 2012, Friedhelm Bechstedt, Lars Matthes, Paola Gori and Olivia Pulci, "Infrared absorbance of silicene and germanene", Appl. Phys. Lett. 100, 261906 (27 June 2012) p. 261906-1
