It was found that a tensile strain of about 7\% induces a semimetal-metal transition. Such a transition also occurs for 5\% applied compressive strain. Furthermore, an approximately linear relationship between an increasing strain and conduction (valence) band-Fermi energy difference was obtained for both types of strain. Engineering the band gap can widen the potential applications for mechanical modulation of the electronic properties of silicene.}, year = {2019}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 37th Samahang Pisika ng Pilipinas Physics Conference}, pages = {SPP-2019-PA-16}, month = {29 May 2019}, address = {Tagbilaran City, Philippines}, url = {https://paperview.spp-online.org/proceedings/article/view/SPP-2019-PA-16}, }
