A. Molle and co‐workers engineer a ‘silicene sandwich’: the encapsulation of silicene layers epitaxially grown on Ag(111) is necessary to avoid oxidation. Al 2 O 3 ‐based encapsulation of these layers, demonstrated on page 4340 , results in a sandwiched structure that can be exploited for the ex situ characterization of silicene, or for devices incorporating a gated silicene sheet.
