Abstract

In this chapter we give an overview on the theoretical and experimental investigations of one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) Si nanoribbons (SiNRs) formed on the anisotropic Ag(110) substrate surface. We start by introducing briefly free-standing silicene, a silicon layer with Si atoms arranged in honeycomb lattice, with hexagonal Si-rings as structural units. These hexagonal Si units are subsequently discussed as possible candidates to explain the atomic arrangement of the experimentally synthesized Si nanoribbons on Ag(110). This interpretation is supported by properties such as the presence of the 1D projection of the π and π* bands, forming the so-called “Dirac cones” at the K points of the Brillouin zone, the sp2-like nature of the Si valence orbitals, and the strong resistance against oxidation. Besides these results, the atomic structure as well as the origin of the electronic properties of these Si nanoribbons are still controversially debated in the literature. We address this discussion in the last part of the chapter before summarizing it.
