  Using full potential density functional theory calculations we have
investigated the structural and electronic properties of graphene and some
other graphene-like materials, viz., monolayer of SiC, GeC, BN, AlN, GaN, ZnO,
ZnS and ZnSe. We hope, with the advancement of material synthesis techniques,
some these new materials will be synthesized in the near future for potential
applications in various nano-devices.
