Our early theoretical work on stability of silicene, germanene, and other 2D materials inspired experimental studies that resulted in the synthesis of these materials on specific substrates. Recently, our studies were focused on predicting novel 2D materials that are composed (solely or partially) of boron atoms. In particular, we will describe the novel orthorhombic 2D diboron-dinitride [1], which has a direct band gap at around 1.7 eV. This property is highly tunable by strain engineering [2], making this material an excellent candidate for optoelectronic applications.
