The Tight-Binding Calculation Research of the Silicene Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

Silicene is a single atomic layer of silicon thin film structure, its structure is similar to the graphene, the hexagonal lattice structure with pleats. In recent years it has aroused widespread concern because of its unique physical properties. In this paper, use the tight-binding method (DFTB) of density functional theory calculation of the variation of silicene structure and structural changes in the bond lengths and bond angles. The results show that for small sized silicene its structure is unstable and relatively large changes. With the increase of the size of silicene, the structure tends to be stable and some structures appear symmetric. When the difference between the X coordinate values of the left and right borders silicene initial structure reaches 38 Å, the structure is completely symmetrical on both sides.
