Description:
Author(s): Janne Nevalaita and Pekka Koskinen Two-dimensional materials research has recently advanced to free-standing, atomically thin metallic nanostructures. To facilitate further progress, the authors construct a periodic table for the properties of 2D elemental metals using density functional theory. The theoretical values for cohesive energies, bond lengths, and elastic moduli of 45 metals correlate linearly with the corresponding properties of the familiar bulk metals. The presentation of these correlations and their causes provides for profound insights into material research that would help design new 2D nanosize heterostructures with optical, catalytic, and nanoelectronic applications.
