ABSTRACT:

Crystals of diamond (C}, silicon (Si), and silicon carbide (SiC) were dissolved in KOH and NaOH, after which the alkalis were washed out with water. 

Analytical measurements of the obtained mono clays: [diamond(C}; silicon (Si); quartz (SiO2); (SiC)] + H2O were carried out.

The purpose of the research is to test the hypothesis of a "nano dielectric molecule".

In [1], it was assumed that all dielectric crystals with cleavage planes can be chemically decomposed into a finite number of nanocrystalline blocks. In furtherance of this hypothesis, we conducted a series of experiments with crystals of diamond, silicon, and silicon carbide, similar to [2-6]:

1. After diamonds were dissolved in KOH and alkali was washed out with water, water-diamond (C- mono clay) was obtained [1-6]. 

2. After silicon single crystals were dissolved in KOH and NaOH and alkali was washed out with water, silicon (Si - mono clay) and quartz (SiO2 - mono clay) were obtained.

3. After dissolving silicon carbide crystals in KOH and washing out the alkali with water, SiC - mono clay was obtained. 

By clay, we mean a semi-liquid substance consisting of crystals of various chemical compositions and water. 

Mono-clay is a clay consisting of identical nano-dielectric crystals dissolved in water.

It turned out that the X-ray structure of mono clays is absent in the semi-liquid state, but it reappears during annealing.

Conclusions: 

1. Dielectric crystals consist of identical nano blocks (nano dielectric molecules).

2. Dielectric crystals, after dissolving and washing out the solvent with water, turn into mono-clay of the corresponding crystal.
