Diamane Oxide. Two-Dimensional Film with Mixed Coverage and a Variety of Electronic Properties

Here, we investigate stability of the diamane oxide films and show that various compositions can be realized depending on the precursors, temperature, and pressure. We demonstrate that the commonly used oxygen source in the H₂O form requires pressures of GPa order to fabricate the film, which is in full agreement with the experimental data. We show that different types of functional groups can tailor electronic properties of bilayer diamane. Finally, we study electronic property dependence on the film thickness, elucidating its connection with surface states.
