| Summary: | Background. Recently, the magnetic properties of monolayers of various
nanostructures have been extensively studied. As it is known, silicene is a single layer silicon film. Silicene is an analogue of graphene, which has a honeycomb geometric structure.
The purpose of this work is to calculate the magnetic moment of electrons in unmodulated
silicene. Materials and methods. The calculation of the magnetic moment is based on the
thermodynamic potential Ω. Knowing the energy spectrum of electrons, it is possible to
calculate both the thermodynamic potential and the magnetic moment. Results. An
analytical expression for the magnetic moment is obtained, its dependence on the magnetic
field is analyzed. Conclusions. The results obtained make it possible to assert that this
method of calculating the magnetic moment applied to a three-dimensional electron gas can
also be applied to various nanostructures.
