Popis: Silicon is a material whose technological application is well established, and obtaining this material in nanostructured form increases its possibility of integration in current technology. Silicene is a natural compatibility with current silicon-based electronics industry. Furthermore, doping is a technique that can be often used to adjust the band gap of silicene and at the same time introduce new functions. Here we investigate Several aspects of silicene doping with chromium, such as dopant solubility limits, site preference for adsorption and doping, and formation of magnetic domains. In this work we carried out investigation on diffusion and doping of chromium atoms on silicene. We use density-functional theory to identify the electronic and magnetic properties of tchromium atoms on monolayer and bilayer silicene. We find that magnetization depends on key parameters such as buckling, interlayer distance and adsorption site.
