Temperature-dependent Coulomb excitations in silicene

The temperature-dependent Coulomb screening and excitation spectrum of electrons in silicene are studied by the tight-binding model and the random-phase approximation. With the spin–orbit interaction, monolayer silicene is a narrow-gap semiconductor. At finite temperatures, the interplay between the...
