 Silicene is a two-dimensional material composed of silicon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice. It is highly conductive and can be manipulated using electric fields. Silicene-based optical MOSFETs, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors, are proposed as a promising tool for optical integration due to their small size, low insertion loss, infinite extinction ratio, and high quality factor.
