Catalysed by the success of mechanical exfoliated free-standing graphene, two dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials are successively an active area of research. Silicene is a mono-layer of silicon (Si) atoms with a low-buckled honeycomb lattice possessing a Dirac cone and mass-less fermions in th...
