All-around encapsulation of silicene
Daya S. Dhungana, Chiara Massetti, Christian Martella, Carlo Grazianetti, Alessandro Molle- General Materials Science
Stabilization of substrate-free silicene on a months timescale is proven by all-around encapsulation in three steps, epitaxial growth of a silicene–stanene heterostructure on a silver substrate, capping with an alumina layer, and substrate removal.
