Structural properties<br />

Puzzling:<br />

• A 2D crystal is exotic enough.<br />

Mechanical: very high Young moduls (TPa).<br />

• Some TEM experiment show defects forming <strong>and</strong><br />

disappearing (membrane?)<br />

• It has a rippled structure. 2D curvature can only<br />

be provided by topological defects.<br />
