Summary: | Two-dimensional diamond, or diamane, is an ultrathin film with unique physical properties that combine the record values of the bulk crystal with the exciting features caused by the nanoscale nature. At the current stage of research, the diamane properties are mostly studied theoretically, and the main experimental efforts are directed at its synthesis. The latter is the trickiest problem since traditional methods involving the application of high pressure are not fully suitable due to the influence of surface effects. For diamane research, this poses a number of challenges, whose description is the main purpose and scope of this review. The paper also discusses the progress made so far and outlines the prospects for this field, at the crossroads of the timeless diamond and decade-old graphene. |
