Structural and electronic properties of boron monolayer sheets and nitrogen-seeded epitaxial graphene

We employ a global optimization method to predict two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures through the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. By performing PSO simulations, we predict new stable structures of boron monolayer sheets for a wide range of boron concentrations. We present a new class of...
