Monolayer

A monolayer is a single, closely packed layer of entities, commonly atoms or molecules.[1] Monolayers can also be made out of cells. Self-assembled monolayers form spontaneously on surfaces. Monolayers of layered crystals like graphene and molybdenum disulfide are generally called 2D materials.
