The phrase "atom layer" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to science, particularly in discussions about materials, nanotechnology, or atomic structures.
Example: "The researchers focused on the properties of the atom layer in the new composite material they were developing."
Alternatives: "atomic layer" or "layer of atoms".
These calculations indicate strong segregation of Ni to the subsurface atom layer due to its strong interaction with Bi.
The rod wall, two-atom thick, presents, in alternation with S atoms, Pb or (Pb,Sb) cations with prismatic coordination in the internal atom layer, while the external atom layer is constituted exclusively by Sb cations with dissymmetric square pyramidal coordination.
This study presents use of a new liquid precursor to obtain large area, continuous and mostly single atom layer N-doped graphene films.
A novel approach for fabricating ultrahigh-density sub-10 nm TiO2 nanosheet arrays with high aspect ratios by incorporating the spacer-defined double-patterning process with nanoline templates via atom layer deposition (ALD) was demonstrated.
The enhanced electrocatalytic activity and stability are attributed to the replacement of the Pd atom layer by Pt atoms, which significantly reduces the presence of the so-called "three neighboring site" of Pd or Pt atoms in the Pt-PdAu/C to efficiently suppress CO formation.
The profiles have been found to be oscillatory, with a preferential segregation of Bi occurring at the first surface atom layer, and a slight depletion of Bi in the second layer, in fair agreement with the results of the ab initio linear muffin tin orbitals calculations.
Here for simplicity, we approximate t as t=t0+0.8 Å, where t0 is the distance between the top and bottom chalcogen atom layers and the 0.8 Å is the total effective decay length (0.4 Å in each layer side) of electron density into the vacuum.
The Bi atom layers are sandwiched between WO6 octahedral layers [11].
In a typical FePn superconductor, layers of pnictogen (Pn), e.g., arsenic (As) normally sandwich the Fe atom layers.
Unlike graphite and layered hexagonal BN (h-BN), the monolayer of MoS2 is composed of three atom layers: a Mo layer sandwiched between two S layers.
The deformation of the middle two atom layers of the nanotube (in the square of Fig. 2) was further investigated.
