#Single Atom Building blocks For Future Electronics The material is called a silicene, a layer of silicon single atoms arranged in a honeycomb pattern that was fabricated first by researchers at UOW Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials (ISEM) and their partners in Europe and China.
and Dr Yi Du have published breakthrough research into a new material call silicene. An ISEM team led by Professor Shi Xue Dou
and Dr Yi Du have published breakthrough research into a new material call silicene. Silicene great promise is related to how electrons can streak across it at incredible speed
close to the speed of light. Propelling the electrons in silicene requires minimal energy input, which means reducing power and cooling requirements for electronic devices. f silicene could be used to build electronic devices,
it could enable the semiconductor industry to achieve the ultimate in miniaturization, Dr Yi Du,
a research fellow at the ISEM, said. The difficulty for researchers, according to Dr Du, is that up until a couple of years ago,
was the first research group in Australia to make silicene and recently, using state-of-the-art equipment,
and modifying silicene so it can be integrated it into ultra-small renewable energy devices, such as solar cells,
data storage hardware and advancing quantum computing. uow195685 o one in the scientific community believed silicene paper could be made
and place them one at a time on a plate to form the silicene paper. he process is like laying bricks,
and high-quality silicene layers that are large enough for integrated circuits, Dr Du said. here is also work to be done in developing ways to peel
and transfer the silicene layers from the base it has been assembled on, as well as embed electrodes in it. s
