Description
Hyeonseo Jang and co-authors review a class of ultrathin materials with no orderly crystal pattern, published in 2024. Amorphous solids lack long-range atomic order yet keep local structure, giving them unusual electronic and chemical traits. Atom-thin versions have lately drawn attention for mechanical and electronic properties crystals cannot match. The review covers how these two-dimensional glasses form, including honeycomb sheets with mixed bonding and layered forms with fewer atomic links.
Three threads organize the survey. First, how crystals flip into the amorphous phase and back. Second, synthesis routes that grow high-quality films with precise thickness control. Third, uses in devices thinner than a nanometer, where the materials' forgiving structure is an asset. The authors argue these solids could reshape device design at the smallest scales. They close with open challenges in control and characterization.
