Strain induced phase transitions in silicene bilayers: a first principles and tight-binding study
Using first principles and tight-binding calculations, we have investigated the structures of silicene bilayers under the isotropic tensile strain. We find that (i) the strain induce several barrierless phase transitions. (ii) After the phase transitions, the bilayer structures become planar, simila...
