Vacancy-mediated inelasticity in two-dimensional vanadium-based dichalcogenides

Abstract

Amongst the two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) family, VX2 (X=S, and Se) are key members for next-generation electronic, spintronic, and energy storage applications. Structural defects may be introduced in...

“…This suggests that voids act as stress concentrators, promoting crack initiation and propagation, an observation in line with previous observations. 9,45,46 However, as shown in Fig. 11, the effect of void size is more pronounced on toughness and failure strain than on failure stress.…”
