In this thesis I focussed on the interactions between graphene-like materials (grapheme and germanene) and various substrates. The attractive properties of graphene like a high carrier mobility, its single-atomic thickness and its theoretical magic have made graphene a very popular and promising candidate material for numerous applications.\ud However the zero-band gap of intrinsic graphene is a drawback for applications\ud - if not for theoretical physicists! The study of gap opening mechanisms in\ud graphene and how the band structure can be engineered to behave as we wish were\ud the central questions that I have tried to address
