Interesting, though it doesn't seem to discuss much of the actual benefits of Silicene. Not sure how easy it's compared to other material production but this technique requires
* ultrahigh vacuum conditions
* Injecting Oxygen molecules at 200C to cut the Silicene from the substrate using a scanning tunnelling microscope
* A gold substrate (the picture is wrong)
- marcosdumay 10y agoI'm not sure anybody knows the actual benefits of silicene. People expect it to be a better conductor than silicon, but I don't know if anybody was able to actually measure that yet. It may also be possible to process it on the same kind of machines that fabricate silicon chips, but I really doubt anybody ever tried any of that (personally, I doubt this). It's a very new and unknown material.
