METHOD OF GROWING CRYSTALLINE LAYERS ON AMORPHOUS SUBSTRATES USING TWO-DIMENSIONAL AND ATOMIC LAYER SEEDS

摘要

This disclosure relates to methods of growing crystalline layers on amorphous substrates by way of an ultra-thin seed layer, methods for preparing the seed layer, and compositions comprising both. In an aspect of the invention, the crystalline layers can be thin films. In a preferred embodiment, these thin films can be free-standing.
