Ferroelasticity and domain physics in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers
The atoms in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides can arrange into a number of different structures, or polymorphs. Here, the authors use first-principles calculations to show that one such polymorph, 1T', can exhibit a large mechanical response to external applied strain.
