Meanings
-
(uncountable) An allotrope of antimony that has an almost two-dimensional structure similar to graphene
Recently a stable monolayer of antimony in buckled honeycomb structure called antimonene was successfully grown on 3D topological insulator Bi#95;2Te#95;3 and Sb#95;2Te#95;3, which displays semiconducting properties.
