title: Preparation and structure of novel siloxene nanosheets.
abstract: We demonstrate the two-dimensional silicon backbone structure of siloxene nanosheets, which produces relatively monodisperse nanosheets with a thickness of 0.7 nm and lengths in the range 100-200 nm; the thickness is an order of magnitude smaller than that of previously reported silicon nanoparticles prepared by a variety of other methods.
