TL;DR: Direct chemical vapor deposition of in-plane monolayer heterostructures based on 1H-MoS2 and 1T'-MoTe2 shows the feasibility of dislocation-free stitching of two different atomic configurations and a pathway toward direct synthesis of monolayers TMD heterostructure of different phases.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general hybrid model based upon the generalized Peierls-Nabarro model with density functional theory parametrization is presented to describe interlayer dislocations in bilayer systems.

TL;DR: Analytical results suggest that the stress-thickness product is a linear function of the substrate coverage, with slope equal to minus the substrate surface stress, if the island is in mechanical equilibrium, and verify these results with simulation data.

TL;DR: In this paper, anisotropic-thermalexpansion-induced microcracking in single-phase ceramics has been simulated using a simple mechanics model based upon a regular lattice of brittle, elastic springs.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that morphology and mechanical response can be controlled via application of strain either uniformly or through local probes to generate functionally patterned conductive T' domains, and form a multiscale, first-principles-informed modeling framework to describe evolution of microstructural domain morphologies in elastically bendable 2D monolayers.
