Structural, mechanical and electronic properties of in-plane 1T/2H phase interface of MoS2 heterostructures

Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) phase hybrid system composed by 2H and 1T phase is a natural metal/semiconductor heterostructures and promised a wide range of potential applications. Here, we report the first principle investigations on the structural, mechanical and electronic prop...
