Abstract
In this paper, GeSe2 thin film and glass ingot were prepared in a layered structure. Subsequently, the 2D amorphous monolayers were achieved from layered thin film and layered glass ingot. The thicknesses of monolayers from thin film range from 1.5 nm to 5 nm. And the thickness of monolayer from glass ingot is 7 μm. The fast cooling of material results in the formation of self-assembled monolayers. In the case of thin film, layers are connected with “bridge”. After doping of Ag, the precipitation of nano particles exfoliates the adjacent monolayers which can be further dispersed by etching of Ag particles. In the case of glass ingot, the composition changes at 1 % between adjacent monolayers, according to EDX (energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) spectra. And the glass 2D monolayer can be mechanically peeled off from the glass ingot.
