According to Lev Tomilin from NUST MISIS, the material combines strength, hardness and flexibility thanks to the combination of carbon bonds. These 2D diamond films have potential for application in electronics, optics and medicine.
Experiments have shown that the amount of nanodiamonds in graphene films can be controlled by changing the xenon ion density. This opens up opportunities for creating durable and functional coatings for chips, implants and sensors. The press service noted that research is ongoing and the scientists hope that their developments will be widely introduced to industry.
