Description
Accurate ab initio theoretical simulations have revealed the existence of a new class of stable 2D
materials that are one atom thick and flat. Considering the fact that 2-D materials and their use
in many applications are fairly new, this provides an exciting new opportunity for exploring novel
technological applications owing to their large surface to volume ratio. Furthermore, combining first
and second row elements in the Periodic Table to form a one atom thick material that is also flat opens
up the possibility for studying new physics beyond grapheue. We propose to experimentally synthesize
this new class of 20 materials that are one atom thick and flat following the theoretical guidance as
part of the exploratory research.
