Stability and strength of atomically thin borophene from first principles calculations

A new 2D material, borophene, has been grown successfully recently on single crystal Ag substrates. Three main structures have been proposed ( $ \beta _{12} $ , $ \chi _3 $ and striped borophene). However, the stability of three structures is still in debate. Using first principles calculations, we...
