Abstract

Abstract : A single layer of a 2D material with a high Young's modulus such as graphene may be transferred onto a thin‐film surface as a "cap" to prevent dewetting, which has classically plagued thermal and chemical processing steps. The difference between capped and uncapped surfaces is readily apparent in optical microscopy images, as demonstrated by Ke Xu, Michael F. Crommie, Ting Xu, and co‐workers in article number1701536 .
