Scientists find a way of acquiring graphene-like films from salts to boost nanoelectronics

Monday, August 1, 2016 - 06:11 in Physics & Chemistry

An international collaborative of researchers has used computer simulations to find the minimum thinness of a slab of salt in order for it to break up into graphene-like layers. Based on the computer simulation, they derived the equation for the number of layers in a crystal that will produce ultrathin films with applications in nanoelectronics. Their findings were in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.
