Defect mediated phase transformation of two-dimensional 2H-MoTe2 to the distorted 1T'-MoTe2 — •Tibor Lehnert1, Mahdi Ghorbani-Asl2, Janis Köster1, Hannu-Pekka Komsa3, Arkady Krasheninnikov2,3, and Ute Kaiser11Electron Microscopy Group of Materials Science, University of Ulm, Ulm 89081, Germany — 2Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Dresden 01328, Germany — 3Department of Applied Physics, Aalto University, P.O.

We applied the newly developed Cc-and Cs-corrected SALVE (Sub-Angstrom Low-Voltage Electron Microscopy)[1] instrument, to study the dynamics of extended defects in single-layer 2H-MoTe2. In particular we report atom by atom on the transformation of an area in single-layer MoTe2 from the semiconducting 2H to the distorted and metallic 1T* phase, starting with a single vacancy line of missing Te atoms. We find that the size of the transformed area is defined by the length of the single vacancy line. First-principles calculations are performed to understand the transformation's driving forces.
