The properties of epitaxial silicene monolayers on Ag(111) at various levels of oxidation are determined through complementary density functional theory calculations and soft X-ray spectroscopy experiments. Our calculations indicate that moderate levels of oxidation do not cause a significant bandgap opening in the ep…

A stripy pattern of continuous epitaxial growth of thin Au nanowires on plasmonic Cu3P platelets is reported. The obtained Au-Cu3P heterostructures retain their wide area interfacial heterojunction, which is typically not observed in metal-semiconductor heterostructures. This is performed by phosphine-mediated in situ…
