A metastable pentagonal 2D material synthesized by symmetry-driven epitaxy

Nature Materials, Published online: 27 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01987-w

A metastable pentagonal PdTe2 monolayer has been synthesized through symmetry-driven epitaxy, utilizing lattice matching with a Pd(100) substrate. The lattices, phonons and electronic structures of this phase have been studied.Nature Materials, Published online: 27 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01987-wA metastable pentagonal PdTe2 monolayer has been synthesized through symmetry-driven epitaxy, utilizing lattice matching with a Pd(100) substrate.
