Stabilization of Charge DensityWaves in Atomic Chains on Xenes

We investigate the electronic properties of atomic chains placed on group-14 twodimensional materials, Xenes, by analyzing the local electronic properties. Our results
show that the hybridization between the chain and the substrate leads to significant modifications in the local density of states at each chain site, including peak splitting, broadening, and asymmetry. These effects are particularly pronounced for plumbene. Owing to the substrate’s V-shaped-like density of states, the chains exhibit strong localization effects and significant intensity variations in the electronic energy spectrum. In addition the present analysis reveals the emergence of charge density waves in atomic chains, for which the appearance and stability conditions are identified and provided. The charge density waves are more pronounced and stabilized by a specific electronic spectrum of Xenes, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the chain interior. Our findings contribute to the broader understanding of the interaction between one-dimensional chains and two-dimensional Xene materials, which have significant implications for developing advanced hybrid nanostructures and next generation electronic devices
