研究目的
Investigating the phase transitions in two-dimensional tellurene under mechanical strain modulation, including classification of phases based on space groups, calculation of elastic moduli, and analysis of strain-induced transitions.
研究成果
DFT calculations reveal multiple phases of 2-D tellurene with distinct elastic moduli and symmetry. Compression promotes α → β transition, while tensile strain along chain direction can induce α → γ transition. Energy differences are small compared to thermal energy, suggesting room-temperature phase transitions are feasible. Substrate effects may explain experimental variations in observed phases. Findings support potential applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and piezotronics.
研究不足
The study is computational and relies on DFT approximations; experimental validation is not provided. Only up to four layers considered for elastic moduli; thicker systems may show different behaviors. Defects and grain boundaries not investigated. Limited to specific phases (α, β, γ, δ); other reported phases (e.g., 2H-MoS2-like, square-like) not fully explored.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Computational simulations using density functional theory (DFT) with the Vienna ab initio Simulation Package (VASP), employing the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) functional and generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Van der Waals corrections applied using Tkatchenko and Scheffler (DFT-TS) method. Climbing image nudged elastic band (CI-NEB) method used for energy barrier calculations.
