Structural and electronic properties of the all-Si analogue of graphene,silicene have elucidated through DFT calculations. Silicene differsconsiderably from graphene in being `chair-type' puckered in each 6-memberedring which leads to ordered ripples across the surface. Binding energiessuggest stability for such rippled silicenes and are predicted to behave as afinite gap semi-conductor with electron-hole symmetry quenched. Inter-layercoupling between the silicenes is suggested as the mechanism for the formationof the bulk-Si in its only known diamond form.
