Thermodynamics and electronic structure of adsorbed and intercalated plumbene in graphene/hexagonal SiC heterostructures

Abstract Graphene-covered hexagonal SiC substrates have been frequently discussed to be appropriate starting points for epitaxial overlayers of Xenes, such as plumbene, or even their deposition as intercalates between graphene and SiC. Here, we investigate, within density functional theory, the plum...
