An Assessment of Thermally Driven Local Structural Phase Changes in 1$T$${}^{\prime }$- MoTe${}_2$

Sumit Khadka, Leighanne C. Gallington, Byron Freelon

The role of layer disorder is important in establishing the topological phases of MoTe${}_2$. A rich tapestry of atomic ordering influences the structural phase transitions (SPTs),…
