| contents | Atomically thin metallenes are a new family of materials representing the ultimate limit of a thin free-electron gas for novel applications. Although metallene research has gained traction, limited attention has been paid to the properties of their ubiquitous edges. Here, we use density-functional theory simulations to investigate various edges of Mg, Cu, Y, Au, and Pb metallenes with hexagonal and buckled honeycomb lattices. Investigating relaxations, energies, stresses, and electronic structures at the edge, we find that some properties have clear trends while others are sensitive to both element and lattice type. Given that edge properties are fundamental to metallene stability and interactions in lateral heterostructures, their detailed understanding will help guide the development of metallene synthesis and applications. |
