Fundamental Physicochemical Properties of Germanene-related Materials: A Theoretical Perspective provides a focused and comprehensive review of germanene-related materials to assist in understanding of the essential properties of these compounds. It examines the fundamental physicochemical properties and diverse phenomena of various germanium complex states such as germanium oxides, germanium on Ag, germanium/silicon composites and germanium compounds. Diverse phenomena are clearly illustrated using the most outstanding candidates of the germanium/germanene-related material. Delicate simulations and analyses are thoroughly demonstrated under the first-principles method, being fully assisted by the phenomenological models.
Germanium-based materials play critical roles in the basic and applied sciences, as clearly revealed in other group-IV and group-V condensed-matter systems. Their atomic configurations are suitable for creating the active chemical bonding among the identical and/or different nearest-neighboring atoms, leading to diverse physical/chemical/material environments.
Fundamental Physicochemical Properties of Germanene-related Materials: A Theoretical Perspective is heavily focused on the study of macroscopic phenomena in chemical systems in terms of the principles, practices, and concepts of physics such as energy, structure, thermodynamics, and quantum chemistry. A major part of the book discusses quantum chemistry, and it is especially concerned with the application of quantum mechanics to chemical problems. The self-developed frameworks of the author team provide a new route to determine how strong and what type of chemical bonds form and how they influence the essential properties of the newly predicted chemical compounds.
