Figure 7. Snapshots from AIMD simulation of silicene monolayers on Ag(111) at 500 K.
(a) initial configuration and (b) structure after 7.5 ps for (3×3) silicene on (4×4) Ag(111) surface (i.e., type I defined above); (c) initial configuration and (d) structure after 5.6 ps for (5×5) silicene on (7×7) Ag(111) surface with 3.8% lattice mismatch.For each graph, Ag atoms are not shown in top view.
