Toward Mechanosynthesis of Diamondoid Structures: V. Silicon as the Material of Choice for Preliminary Implementation of Intermediate Generation of Nano-Machine Systems
Using recently introduced by Drexler "lattice-scaled modulus" Klm, two potential nano-materials were compared, i.e., silicon and diamond. Detailed comparisons of physical and chemical properties have shown that silicon can be considered as the material of choice for a preliminary implementation of intermediate generation of nano-systems.
