Abstract
Thin Films The carbon allotropes of diamond and graphene have different types of bonding that lead to their exceptional properties. Bakharev et al. pull off the impressive trick of making a monolayer carbon film that is diamond-like in its bonding. The authors accomplish this by attaching fluorine atoms to the carbon film, creating “F-diamane.” Diamane is a long-sought-after, but challenging to make, material that should have useful properties. F-diamane may find use in a variety of applications, from microelectronics as a semiconductor to a seed material for growing single-crystal diamond films. Nat. Nanotechol. 15 , 59 (2020).
