Strain-Driven Metal-to-Insulator Transition and Ferroelectricity in WTe.

WTe2, a two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) material, has gained attention for its potential to exhibit out-of-plane ferroelectricity. However, as a semimetal, WTe2 requires an insulating phase for polarization to be meaningful. In this study, we investigate the effects of mechanical strain on WTe2...
