There are many other 2D materials than graphene that exhibit a hexagonal array and are uni-atomic. A team of researchers from Brazil and Germany have used theoretical ab-initio methods to investigate how other group IV 2D materials, the so-called X-enes, interact when deposited onto a graphene-silicon carbide substrate.
