Two-dimensional atomic crystals

Abstract: We report free-standing atomic crystals that are strictly 2D and can be viewed as individual atomic planes pulled out of bulk crystals or as unrolled single-wall nanotubes. By using micromechanical cleavage, we have prepared and studied a variety of 2D crystals including single layers of boron nitride, graphite, several dichalcogenides, and complex oxides. These atomically thin sheets (essentially gigantic 2D molecules unprotected from the immediate environment) are stable under ambient conditions, exhibit hig… Show more

“…various inorganic groups, [23][24][25][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90] organic or organometallic molecules, [37,[91][92][93][94][95][96] DNAs, [97][98][99][100][101] proteins, [102] peptides, [30,31,103,104] nanoparticles, [105,106,107] and 2D heterostructure. [51,52,61,108] These molecules are able to respond chemically or physically to their nearby environment, whose responses could then be transduced into an appreciable change in the conductivity of the carbon-based honeycomb scaffold. The introduction of such chemical moieties on the graphene surface or edge is often referred to as graphene functionalization.…”

“…The commonly applied techniques include mechanical cleavage, solution-based exfoliation, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), and hydrothermal synthesis. [7,[17][18][19][20][21][22] These strategies for TMD nanosheet production allow for deep investigation of their layer-dependent properties, and investigations into their future industrial application.…”

“…Due to the internal exceptionally high crystal quality [8,9] and massless Dirac fermions [10], monolayer graphene exhibits anomalous half integer quantum Hall effect [11], remarkable optical properties [12,13], ultra-high intrinsic strength [14], superior thermal conductivity [15] and extremely high charge carrier mobility [6,16,17]. It is referred to as a zero-gap semiconductor, showing an exceptionally high concentration of charge carriers and ballistic transport because of the unique Dirac cone band structure near the Fermi level.…”
