“…[36][37][38] Moreover, their unique properties have been shown to be advantageous in fiber optics, photovoltaics, communication, photocatalysis and sensors. [39][40][41] It is necessary to investigate new families of single-layer materials such as MTeX 4 (M = Zr, Hf and X = S, Se). The cleavage energies of single-layer ZrS 3 , ZrTeSe 4 , and HfTeSe 4 are close to that of graphene.…”
