Abstract

Structural, electronic and optical propertiesof two dimensional corrugatedsilicene/InSe heterostructurehave been calculated usingdensity functional theory.The effect of layer sliding on the aforementioned physical propertiesis also studied.The maximum value ofenergybarrier along the sliding pathwayis found to be0.051 eV.To elucidate the electronic nature at the interface of the heterostructure,several interfacial properties have beendiscussed.Our employed strategy advocates that through layer sliding physical properties of a material can be tuned in a controlled manner..
