This thematic issue is a collection of contributions covering all aspects of experimental and theoretical research on elemental 2D materials such as silicene-, germanene- and stanene-based materials, including:
Synthesis of group IV-based 2D materials
Characterization of their fundamental structural, electronic and optical properties (including exotic effects)
Functionalization by inorganic or organic compounds
Application of these materials in electronic devices
