Pavel Sorokin - Simulation of fabrication of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides

The presented talk is devoted to the today hot topic of fabrication of transition metal dichalcogenides nanomaterials. I will report the theoretical analysis of experimental data of unzipping of multilayered WS2 nanotubes to WS2 nanoflakes. The extension of the tube was described in the framework of elastic shell theory with parameters evaluated from the ab-initio calculations. Also I will discuss the process of cleavage of MoS2 monolayers where direct TEM and theoretical simulations allow to understand wha
