Functionalized Germanene as a Prototype of Large-Gap Two-Dimensional Topological Insulators
, 2014 We propose new two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators (TIs) in functionalized germanenes (GeX, X=H, F, Cl, Br or I) using first-principles calculations.

Surgical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Medical devices are reviewed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety and effectiveness. Class II devices can receive 510(k) clearance if they are “substantially equivalent” to an existing predicate device. This process can be repeated iteratively, leading to a lineage of predicates for newly cleared devices.
