- Structure-property relationships for two new 2D elemental materials determined for the first time and revealed a route to material stabilisation via substrate selection and a 25-fold reduction in electron-phonon scattering (benchmarked to graphene). Rigour was ensured by using state-of-the-art functionals to accurately calculate rapidly varying phonon dispersion and bandstructure. The significance is to be found in the correct substrate choice and reduced scattering led to the world’s first substrate-stabilised silicene transistor (Nat. Nano. 2015) with carrier mobilities >100 cm2/Vs. This work has been validated by research groups worldwide and led to invited talks including the opening invited talk at NanoteC’16
