Role of Strain on Electronic and Mechanical Response of Semiconducting Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide Monolayers: an ab-initio study

David M. Guzman, Alejandro Strachan

We characterize the electronic structure and elasticity of monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides MX2 (M=Mo, W, Sn, Hf and X=S, Se, Te) with 2H and 1T structures using fully re…
