Research on graphene has revealed remarkable phenomena arising in the honeycomb lattice. However, the quantum spin Hall effect predicted at the K point could not be observed in graphene and other ...

In a honeycomb lattice of potassium cobalt arsenate, cobalt spins (red and blue arrows) couple and align. Potassium, arsenic and oxygen are removed to highlight the magnetic cobalt atoms. Researchers ...

Borophene is known to have triangular lattice with holes, while a honeycomb lattice of boron was predicted to be energetically unstable. However, a research team led by Prof. K. H. Wu at Institute of ...

A team led by Assistant Professor of Physics Fazel Tafti has created an elusive honeycomb-structured material capable of frustrating the magnetic properties within it in order to produce a chemical ...

An important electronic property of graphene has been simulated for the first time using ultracold atoms. The experiment was carried out by physicists in Switzerland, who reproduced graphene’s ...

Seeking for low-dimensional boron allotropes has attracted considerable interest in the past decades and tremendous theoretical works predict the existence of monolayer boron. As boron has only three ...
