Structural evolution and phase transition mechanism of $$\hbox {MoSe}_2$$ MoSe 2 under high pressure

Abstract $$\hbox {MoSe}_2$$ MoSe 2 is a layered transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) with outstanding electronic and optical properties, which is widely used in field-effect transistor (FET). Here the structural evolution and phase transition of $$\hbox {MoSe}_2$$ MoSe 2 under high pressure are sys...
