Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe 2 ) exhibits an intriguing polymorphic nature, showing stable semiconducting 2H and metallic 1T′ phases at room temperature. Polymorphism in MoTe 2 presents new opportunities in developing phase-change memory, high- performance transistors, and spint...
