A Tech Jewel: Converting Graphene into Diamond Film

Comparison between bilayer graphene and fluorinated monolayer diamond (F-diamane). Top: Optimized models of bilayer graphene and F-diamane. Orange and grey spheres represent fluorine and carbon atoms, respectively. Bottom: Cross-sectional transmission electron micrographs of as-grown bilayer graphene and F-diamane with the highlighted interlayer and interatomic distances.
