Computational insights and the observation of SiC nanograin assembly: towards 2D silicon carbide

Abstract While an increasing number of two-dimensional (2D) materials, including graphene and silicene, have already been realized, others have only been predicted. An interesting example is the two-dimensional form of silicon carbide (2D-SiC). Here, we present an observation of atomically thin and...
