The technology scouting services arm of Del Stark Technology
Solutions has published a new technology briefing on Silicene, Graphyne,
Graphdiyne and Graphane to look at materials beyond Graphene. This 106
page report provides access to news, patents, academic research
findings and also highlights universities and institutes working in the
field, as well as, companies and research organisations that are
patenting.
Silicene has been described as the graphene equivalent for silicon
and has attracted tremendous attention as it could have a wider impact
on the future developments in expanding areas of spintronics and
nanoelectronics.
Silicene has a tunable band gap and displays interesting physical,
magnetic, and electronic properties and structurally it has been
described as a honeycomb configuration. These features have been highly
contrasted in the literature against graphene, demonstrating that
silicene has a richer structure. This structure can be used for
functionalisation and developing future electronics and electro-magnetic
correlated devices. The possible compatibility of silicene with
current silicon-based micro-/nano technology will be of huge industrial
interest.
Some expert views from the report:
“Silicene is one of hot materials and promising as a material used for device applications.” - Noriaki Takagi, Department of Advanced Materials Science Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo
“Silicene is expected to enter
industry in a big way because the Silicon technology is very well
developed and much of that may be used to develop Silicene based
electronics.” - Dr.Gautam Mukhopadhyay, Institute Chair Professor in Physics, Physics Department, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay,
The report also looks at Graphyne, Graphdiyne and Graphane.
