Hexagonal vs Germanene - What's the difference?
hexagonal | germanene |
(geometry) Having six edges, or having a cross-section in the form of a hexagon.
(crystallography) Having three equal axes which cross at 60° angles, and an unequal axis which crosses the others at 90° angle.
(inorganic chemistry) An allotrope of germanium that has a hexagonal, planar structure analogous to graphene

- After the successful synthesis of silicene in 2012, which was followed by a surge of studies on elemental, novel two-dimensional (2D) materials beyond graphene, a daunting quest was to obtain germanene , the germanium-based analogue of graphene, already predicted to possibly exist in 2009.
