Elastic, electronic, bonding, and optical properties of WTe2 Weyl semimetal: A comparative investigation with MoTe2 from first principles

Td-WTe2 is a topological Weyl semimetal. WTe2 in the orthorhombic structure is stable at room temperature. Elastic, electronic, bonding, and optoelectronic properties of WTe2 have been investigated in detail in this work using the density functional theory. Elastic behaviour together with anisotropy...
