Silicon exists in a structure similar to diamond, with 4 silicon atoms bonded to each other in a tetrahedron. Why do we not see it exist in a structure like graphite?
Is it even possible to get silicon to exist like this? If so could we make graphene but with silicon atoms? Not sure why you would, since I understand carbon graphene will still be cheaper. But I would just like to know.
