“…Moreover, it has been found that NPR is present in a large number of 2D materials and can occur in-plane, out-of-plane, or in both orientations. As an example of, (i) 2D with in-plane NPR: penta-graphene, Be 5 C 2 , B 2 N 4 , W 2 C, penta-C 2 , B 2 Al, 1T-MX 2 (M = Mo, W, Tc, and Re; X = S, Se, and Te), and MB 2 (M = Be, Mg, Fe, Ti, Hf, V, Nb, and Ta); ,− (ii) 2D with out-of-plane NPR: borophene, SnSe, TiN, and BP 5 ; ,, and (iii) 2D with both in-plane and out-of-plane NPRs: GaPS 4 , Ag 2 S, δ-GeS, and δ-GeSe. ,, These materials possess reentrant or hinged geometric structures, which are thought to be the main cause of auxetic behavior. In addition, the auxetic effects can provide a range of material performance improvements, including fracture toughness, enhanced indentation resistance, and energy absorption .…”
