Symmetry-Enforced Dirac Fermions and Structural Metastability in Pentagonal Monolayers of Transition-Metal Ditellurides

Manoj Gadtoula, Clayton Conner, Avinash Sah +2

The recent synthesis of pentagonal PdTe${}_2$ monolayer motivates broader research interests in transition-metal ditellurides whose electronic phases are governed by symmetry and str…
